Day started well as Les & Donald watched the sun rise (we still have jet lag so up at 5!) Then we drove through some forest and saw loads of wild horses with their foals.
Drove along 90 mile beach for a bit and eventually arrived at the top of NZ at Cape Reinga where the Tasmin Sea meets the Pacific Ocean.
(I had a go at straightening it but Donald said stop fussing.) We worked out we were 2679 nautical miles from home as the crow flies. Except he doesn't due to ash....
In the next wee while we passed through mountains, rainforest with 2,000 year old Kauri trees, hick towns, healthy herds of herefords and eventually got to a chip shop. Hurrah!
As we crossed Auckland Harbour Bridge on the way home we clocked 1,200 Km on this trip and it was Donald's first sighting of the Auckland Sky Tower at night It was a good day out and tomorrow the boys are going to see V8 racing in town.
