Richard and Sharon drove us to Te Reinga where we took an obligatory photo of the lighthouse---from a distance. I had the greatest difficulty in controlling myself when I heard an English man telling his child that when the first ships came to NZ the lighthouse showed them where to go. We left before Sharon and Richard, luckily, as we had a mild panic when I thought I had left the wallet in the car. We had to wave them down and say goodbye again. There were a couple of long drags uphill and some wonderful downhills. The views from the road were rnchanting.
The camp at Waitiki was adequate but we were warned repeatedly about the vicious mosses. I do have a couple of bites but not too bad.
You did better than me Cathrina - I would have let my tongue loose if I had heard the Lighthouse comment! There are spectacular views around this area. Vicki
