Day 59 - Kauri Forest

View of Some Distant Dunes



I Don't Know What These are but They're Awesome

After being back in Auckland for less than 24 hours, I was already on my way up North for another adventure. We were staying near Paihia at a friend's house. The first day there was pretty rainy so we decided it would be a good day to head to Kauri Forest to see some of the largest trees in New Zealand. The natives here have many legends about the Kauri trees and the forests are protected due to nearly being wiped out by early European settlers. As usual there were also lots of views of dunes and beaches along the way.
