Cape Reigna

Everybody woke up early, even after parting last night.
After breakfast we started the journey to Cape Reigna. The weater wasn't helping, once again, with many clouds and even some rain drops.
It may sound really idiot, but here I sand borded in some sand mountains! :P I know, we have many of these things in Brazil and I've never been interested, but here I did. It was ok. I think this was only an activity to relax in the middle of the way to Cape Reigna.
We kept driving north, heading Cape Reigna, the northern most point in the north Island of New Zealand. History says that Cape Reigna is believed to be the place where the Maori's souls goes after they die, so you cannot eat, drink or smoke in Cape Reigna. This is not a closed place (like a Museum), this is where the Tazman Sea meets the Pacific Ocean. Unfortunately, the day was not good, with many coulds on the sky and a strong wind crossing the mountains, but I have to admit that I could see the green colour of the Tazman Sea crashing the blue Pacific Ocean. It's something amazing to watch. I could stay there for hours. It's a very relaxing place, with a light house in the end and a huge ocean in font, where all you can see is the horizon!
The return to Paihia was long. Everybody was sleeping in our small bus. New Zealand doesn't have straight roads, it seems to be always in zig zag! :S
When we got back in Paihia we went to a pizzaria and then to a party, another one! :)
The party was great, but the most impressive thing to see was Robert (out bus driver and guide - from Poland) drinking tequila's shots and beer naturaly! Amazing! I think I saw he taking three of those!
Well, we all hope tomorrow he'll be 'ok'! :)
