Cape Reinga

Cape Reinga - the furthest north you can go by car (not the furthest spot north in NZ) Looks like we were there by ourselves but that is not the case. We were amazed at the number of people in November in the middle of the week. To get to the geocache, we actually came back another morning. Before 10am seems the time to come for photos.
The lighthouse used to operate a 1000 Watt bulb run by a diesel generator. Now it shines just as brightly on a 50 W bulb charged by some solar panels - Incredible!

Traffic jam on State Highway 1 south of Cape Reinga. I took photos like this 20 years ago when I came to NZ, but you can still strike it today :-)
