We had a bit of late start considering we are all catching a cold of some sort. However, we managed to pack a lunch and be up at Cape Reinga by lunch time. It is the northern most tip of New Zealand and the Tasman Sea and Pacific Ocean meet there.
After lunch we headed to the Sand Dunes to do some sand boarding (which is where you 'hire' or rent a boogie board and ride down the dunes). What a wonderful idea!
It was the biggest work out for my calves because for every step you think it is going to take you have to multiply it by about seven because the and is so hard to walk in and up. My calves are sore today, but it was completely worth it. After a few goes on the 'family friendly' dune, I was the only one up for trying what they call 'Psycho Hill.' Yes, it was quite nuts. Even I was a bit scared, but had the time of my life flying down a hill on a board made for water.
After that aventure, we sat sandy in the car as we drove back to Peppertree in Paihia where we were welcomed by friends and a fun night out in the small beach town.
