Cape Reinga, Northland, New Zealand

Today in the driving rain Rochelle and I visited the Cape Reinga Lighthouse.

Cape Reinga is located at the northern most point in New Zealand. Today it was raining and the wind was blowing but you could still see where the Tasman and the Pacific Ocean meet.

The lighthouse was fully automated in 1987 and the lighthouse keepers withdrawn. It's not monitored remotely from a tracking station in Wellington.

"Ok so you have just been to Cape Reinga how does it feel?"

"Wet"

"Other than very very wet, feeling good?"

"Yip"

"Awesome"

Visitors from all around the world walk the path to the light house to experience the views that are defiantly worth the long drive.

Even know the weather didn't play its part today Rochelle and I really enjoyed the views and will defiantly return when the weather is better.

It looks pretty neat, I'll be visiting New Zealand in August, probably wet, but it's a part of the country I want to see.
