The weather was perfect on Friday for our trip to Cape Reinga via Ninety Mile Beach (actually only 64 miles).  I chickened out on riding the boogie board down the sand dunes at Te Paki Stream. We saw ancient Kauri trees in the Puketi Kauri Forest (but not Tane Mahuta, estimated to be 2,000 years old, which is in the Waipoua Kauri Forest).  pictures:  https://picasaweb.google.com/115133267095590644390/CapeReigna?authuser=0&feat=directlink
Stopped for fish and chips before returning to Paihia.
