New Year 2000 in New Zealand
We were one of the first to say good-bye to the old millennium
and hello to the new from the Eastern-most outpost on the mainland
of New Zealand -- East Cape and Hick's Bay.
The East Cape Lighthouse
Hundreds were camped out on
New Year's Eve in hopes of seeing the "first light" of the new
millennium. The remote East Cape Lighthouse is on the Eastern-most
point on the main islands of New Zealand. It has fantastic views along
with a long steep climb from the beach. The wind can be intense, but perfect for parasailing.

Wake-up at the First Sunrise or "First
Light" as it was Foggy
