From Russell
we made our way along the east coast stopping daily at different free camp
sites. Free camping includes a variety
of venue, from parking lots, to open fields and occasional we used Forestry
sites for a small fee. Almost without
exception they were neat and tidy and some included shower and toilet
facilities. The critical thing here is
to insure that if you go this route, your mode of transport is certified
self-contained (toilet and water onboard).
It took a couple of weeks of leisurely driving and site seeing before we
reached Cape Reinga which was the northern most tip of New Zealand.
We had a pleasant hike along the escarpment to find one of New Zealands oldest working lighthouses, now efficiently powered by Solar energy.
A Travel Zodiac pointed us back to Vancouver and reminded us of just how far
(6059 Nautical Miles) it was.
