Cape Reinga

The most northerly point in New Zealand where the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea meet in big a swurly motion. The tree that can bee see clinging to the edge of the rock is sacred to the Maori's; it is believed that when a Maori dies his/ her spirit travels the length of the country to this tree and enter the underworld. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Reinga check out the wiki link if your intrested. There is also a sign pointing to various places around the world with distances as there is at Lands end and John O Groats. Then comes 90 mile beach which we spent an hour or so driving along, see clip attached, and is designated as a highway!!!
