Cape Reinga lighthouse

Looking north to sea from Cape Reinga lighthouse lookout. It is a fine sunny day with white clouds in the blue sky. The sea is a mix of light & dark blue. To the left is the Tasman Sea & to the right is the Pacific Ocean. It is sea all the way to the horizon.

Looking down & north to the northernmost bit of Cape Reinga where according to Maori lore is the point where spirits depart Aotearoa New Zealand.

Photo taken from path nearer the carpark showing how far (~800m) the Cape Reinga lighthouse, visible in the distance) is. Toetoe (tussock grass) is visible in the foreground.

~3hour drive from Paihia to Cape Reinga (about as north as you can go) & lighthouse. Left is Tasman Sea, right is Pacific Ocean. According to lore, this is where Māori spirits depart Aotearoa. Weather was lovely. #Northland #NorthlandScenes #Aotearoa #NewZealand #somethingBeautiful #CapeReinga

A dozen oysters in half-shell on a platter of ice, with a couple of wedges of lemon in the middle

Oyster burger: tempura oysters, smoked bacon & onion chutney, crispy onion bhaji, chilli mayo, lime & cucumber slaw in a brioche bun. And fries. Other menu items are mostly fusion all over the place & based on the oyster burger, probably too confused for my taste.
