After a good night’s sleep at The Welcome Swallow we headed for Raetea Forest. Here was supposed to be a free DOC campsite and it was right on our way. We passed Doubtless Bay on the north side of the island, following the Twin Coast Discovery Highway. It was a VERY beautiful drive.

New Zealand contains several themed highways, each one following some specific notion or particular scenery, and are (at least as far as we know and have seen) well signposted along the highways, and even have each their own themed icon. When driving out of Auckland on our way north, we started following our first one – the Twin Coast Discovery Highway, properly iconed:
Today we continue following it, and will keep on doing so all the way up north and then back down to Auckland, as this particular one is circular – discovering, as its name suggests, the two coasts of the northernmost parts of NZ.
