Just before Te Aroha (Te is The in Maori and Aroha is love) my husband stopped and asked if I wanted to take a photo...which of course I did! We rode over these hills which are part of the Kaimai's and through Te Aroha and several smaller towns I'd never even heard of. It got more and more beautiful although I didn't take any more photos (I had to remind myself it was about the ride not stopping every 5 minutes to take a photo...which I could have!) The whole ride was beautiful and I kept breathing in the wonderfully fresh (and cold) air and reminding myself how lucky I am to live in such a beautiful country. Especially in Autumn.

Spectacular. We don't get the contours on hills quite like that. Gentler slopes. Come to think of it everything is more muted, including the colours of the plantlife and animals.
The treeline is very attractive - quite a variation of foliage. Do people drive on wrong side of tghe road like int he UK?
I admit I am quite provincial....
