North Island Trip (2~2)

The trip doesn't end there. The happiness continue to the Taputaputa Beach which is part of the Pacific Ocean. The water is clear than ever and on top of that it is super cold inside. But of course none of us leave this moment, some Kiwis grab the surfing board just now to complete the joy. But I would just prefer to play by the seaside as the driver only gave us one hour. Changing cloths take half of the time, so it is not a very good idea to have a real bath. But it is fun of course.

The climax of the trip is the visit to Cape Reinga which is the northwesternmost tip of the New Zealand. Cape Reinga is generally considered the separation marker between the Tasman Sea to the west and the Pacific Ocean to the east. Eventhiugh the color of the ocean are different, where Pacific ocean from what I reckon is dark blue while Tasmanian Ocean has turquoise like color. But at the meeting point, the color doesnt mix at all where you could tell the different by looking at it. Maybe they have different concentration or something. Then, it reminds me a verse from the Quran,

"He has let loosed the two seas (the salt water and the sweet) meeting together. Between them is a barrier which none of them can transgress."[Ar-Rahman:19-20]
Subhanallah, Al-Quran has it all. Everything is there. Before scientist had discover that they didnt mix because of the concentration Al-Quran had mention about it long time ago. So it suppose to be no surprise only there is scientific ways of explaining it.
In Maori belief, the the spirits of the dead travel to Cape Reinga on their journey to the afterlife in the spiritual homeland of Hawaiki, using the Te Ara Wairua, the 'Spirits' pathway'.So Cape Reinga is considered as the most sacrat place in their belief.
Then after taking few photos we are back on the bus and take our way back to Paihia. We also drop by for a bite of fish n chips and to the souvenir shop at Ancient Kauri Kingdom. But couldnt afford to buy all those expensive one but postcard is enough for Izzah to be pasted on the wall in our room. After a whole day journey it surely make us tired but can't deny the deep happiness inside for the opportunity for having all this experience and being able to see all this, I wish I can come here again with my loved ones again and witness HIS greatness insya Allah. Do come Umi Abah Nana Eti Fadhil Izzah=)
