Paihia & Cape Reinga

I recently visited the Bay of Islands area at the very top of of New Zealand. The weather was amazing and took full advantage of the sun with some new friends. I have been staying at hostels and have been meeting some great gals. During this time I had the company of girls from North Ireland, England, Netherlands, Germany and a guy from Sweden. One of the things I'm enjoying most about this journey is meeting people from other countries.

Here are some photos:
1) View at 6:45am in Pahina
2) Driving down 90 mile beach...and yes, we are driving right on the beach
3) Passing a police car
4) Boarding down a sand dune on a boogie board. Got my exercise in for the day climbing up that dune a couple of times.
5) View of Tasman Sea at Cape Reinga
6) Cape Reinga. This is the most northern point of New Zealand. The current you see is where the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea meet.
