Up North

For the next 6 days I will be traveling around the northernmost tip of New Zealand. Apparently there is a hiking trail that extends around the northern coast. I will also be heading out to Cape Brett, a little peninsula that sticks out of the northeast coast. At the end of Cape Brett there is a lighthouse with a lightkeeper's cabin nearby. The Department of Conservation has converted this cabin into a hut where hikers can spend the night.

At first it seemed like a really cool idea to stay in a lightkeeper's house, but now that I think of it, I'm not so sure. Given all that I know about movies, TV and Stephen King novels, there are bound to be grisly stories of death and murder attached to this lighthouse. 

While I'm gone, I have another series of: It's Different Here posts. 

I'll be back in a week... hopefully.
