Q: What do we do?
A: Spontaneous 6 hour road trip to Cape Reinga, the northernmost point of the North Island.
Alex, Bjorn, and I got up at 8am, ran some quick errands, and took off on the 6 hour trip to Cape Reinga in Bjorn's Peugeot.
Pit stop about 2 hours in at a I Site for a map to make sure we got there, then stopped at Paihia in the Bay of Islands. So beautiful.
Next stop was in Waitangi, which is where most of New Zealand's history revolves around. We went to the grounds where the Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840, and checked out the area. Rich in both culture and beauty, most of which is intertwined.
Continuing on, we made it further north, had to pull over for a flock of sheep to be herded down the center of the road in typical NZ style, and made it to the cape around 4pm.
Worth it.
After we got all our sights in, it began to rain. We loaded back up, and made it home by 11pm with a few brief stops on the way.
Great friends, great views, great country. Man God is great.
