This is Cape Reinga, a further 19 kilometres on from Ninety Mile Beach. The Maoris call this place Te Reinga or Te Rerenga Wairua and it is one of their most sacred locations because they believe it is where the souls of their departed leave New Zealand to return to their Polynesian homeland.The last time Miss Robb’s Mummy was here it was too foggy to see where the Pacific Ocean and the Tasman Sea meet – you can tell because of the way the tide changes – but this time the weather was perfect and we had a wonderful view.
