How North Can You Go?




We’ve continued up our trek along the west coast, all the way to Cape Reinga the northernmost tip of the North Island.  There the water of the Tasman Sea and the Pacific meet - pausing and combining.  The 12-17% grades are relentless, but you never know if it’s that or the views that take your breath away.  Today we rest in Russell.
We are beyond grateful...
Kiwi searching, possum avoiding, ancient trees and hoping we don’t run into wild pigs!


The meeting of Tasman Sea and Pacific





Seconds before, hands were on knees and sucking wind...just saying...
Ferry on...



goodbye little harbor...

Blue Bottle Jellyfish - cute and pesky

                                   What can I say?  Still haven’t seen one, can’t stay up late enough...
