1/3/09 Cape Reinga trip

Went on a day trip in a huge bus to the Cape. Stopped on the way to visit the Gumdiggers museum & walked around a recreation of one of their villages. Really interesting learning about the history of Gumboots & the old Kauri trees. Then onto the Cape where we stopped for piccies at the end by the lighthouse, it's where the Tasman Sea & Pacific Ocean meet but no big waves when we were there! Also where the Maori spirits of the dead depart the earth.
Stopped on the way back to go sandboarding down the huge dunes, Jay watched me! Then we drove in the bus down the beach back to the campsite! Well funny driving on the sand.
