Long drive Rotorua to Kauri Coast

Set off early as we decided to do another long jump right up past Auckland to the North so that our last 3 days would be more relaxed. Generally pretty good roads and the sat nav came into its own negotiating all the spaghetti junctions around Auckland. Made a pit stop to replace the spare wheel as if another one went we'd be buggered! Made a bit of a mistake getting back on the motorway as we ended up going South again before we could u-turn and head North again. Tsk!

Eventually got to Kauri Forests so we could spend the day doing trails the next day. The end is nigh.
