Last days in New Zealand before flying home!

 After my four weeks in Australia, I returned to NZ to fly home from there. Well I tried... thanks to the Volcanic Ash Could which came from Chile, I was trapped in Melbourne for two days because all flights to Auckland had been cancelled! But Helga and Theo were really nice and I stayed with them for that time. so when I finally arrived in Auckland I had about six days left before my flight back home. I decided to explore Northland since I hadn't done that so far. And I have to say it was amazing. I really loved it up there in Pahia and I was impressed by Cape Reinga. You can see the Tidal Race where the Tasman Sea and the Pacific Ocean are meeting. Moreover I loved the Maori belief on how this is the point where the spirit of their dead are meeting and from there resend to the so called "homeland". I felt like there is an really special atomosphere at the Cape!
