Back in the motor continuing on the road. It is cut out of the mountainside and goes up and down and round with incredible views of the fiords. We arrived at a view point called Makani Paoa or Cullen Point and got out for a gander, but so had every other tourist on this road! There was not a lot of space for cars, but after I walked the short trail to the top of the hill I knew why. The view is fabulous, looking over the sound at one side and Havelock at the other. We soon set off again and made a stop in Havelock so I could go to the loo again (too much tea at breakfast). The road ran along the valley floor for a while then started to climb back in to the forest. This is mainly crop conifers except where it is too steep for planting, which is where the slope is more than 85 degrees. How they manage to log and plant where they do beats me. It is so steep, so deep and so high.
