Heading north
3rd November 2009 Today we go even further north, up to Henderson Bay which was the nearest place we could get to Cape Reinga. We set off from our lovely hostel quite late, calling in to get food and petrol on the way out of town (we’re not sure where the nearest supermarket will be up north!). We made a short detour along Whangaroa harbour, calling in at Tauranga Bay for a spot of lunch. Unfortunately the weather is still a little changeable so we had a short shower while we were here, but were still able to enjoy the peachy pink sand. From the road, we enjoyed some lovely veiws over the Cavalli Islands scattered off shore. ...
