End of the World
Last week we drove to the northernmost point of New Zealand, Cape Reinga. According to Maori legend, when a person dies their spirit takes a journey to the north and jumps off to heaven from there. Read more about it here. There is a lighthouse at Cape Reinga with a point that looks like a great jumping spot to us:
Nearby is Spirits bay, named for the above legend. Spirits bay has the most beautiful beach I’ve ever seen: it’s pink.
The sand is made of sea-washed shells that look like small jewels close-up.
Gorgeous.
