Description
One frustrating thing about many of the roads in New Zealand is that they are endlessly scenic, but with no place to safely pull over to take a photo. The shoulders are narrow or non-existent and they are curving so that you have to make sure anyone coming up behind you has plenty of notice that you have stopped (and the same with anyone coming from the opposite direction). If you miss a place to pull over, it might be miles before you run across another place, and by then of course, the original scene is long gone. For some odd reason, safe places to pull over were often in the least scenic locations! My instructions to my husband (who was driving) were to pull over first, ask questions later. This lovely curving road was in the Catlins area of the South Island of New Zealand, near Papatowai and heading to Purakaunui Falls.
