    Photos from New Zealand

    There are [5] photos from New Zealand

    As we climb up the big hill, we can't help glancing back every few moments to check the intensity of storm. It peters out by the time we reach the bus, but we are exhilarated from our near brush with a tropical storm. Views[92] The funnel grows in length and width, stretching from the clouds down towards the point where the Tasman Sea and Pacific Ocean meet. Our group decides it's time to hightail it back to the bus. Views[138] The swirling water intensifies and a funnel begins to form. It's still a 20 minute walk back to the bus, but we can't tear ourselves away from this weather phenomenon. Views[113] Our group should be concerned, but the colors and light are captivating. We hold our ground and take out our cameras. Views[72] We arrive at sacred Cape Reigna, the northernmost point of New Zealand. The Maori people believe that when a person dies, their spirit travels up north to Cape Reigna before departing to the heavens. But we arrive to a wall of water headed straight for us.
