Today we drive 200 km to the northernmost point of New Zealand to Cape Reinga. On the way there we pass the Ninety-Mile Beach, which bears his name wrongly, as it is only 90km long. There is an access to Waipapakauri Beach, from where the off-road busses with almost 100km/h roar over the hard sand.
At noon we reached Cape Reinga. This is where the two seas, the Tasman Sea and the South Pacific meets. For the indigenous people of New Zealand the Maori, the Cape has a special meaning: Reinga means "the jumping-off place of the dead." Start from here that the souls of the long pilgrimage back to Hawaiki, the mythical land where the Maori see their origins and their provenance.
