I don't mean this in a disparing way, but the drive down from
Dawson Falls was even better than the drive
up. Bar getting out of the car park, I didn't touch the
gas peddle at all until I got to the base of the mountain -
gravity just did all the work (and the limit!) for me. Probably
the most effortless scenic drive I've ever had!
Naturally, the drive back to Stratford took me through some
of the finest dairy country in the world - and it shows. I
have to admit that driving Taranaki is one of the great pleasures
in life.
