The Forgotten World Highway - well, with such a romantic name, how could we resist? Despite the fact that it was now getting on a bit as far as time was concerned, we embarked on a trip down the above. It went from Stratford to Taumarunui along an important original road for the area, passing sights of interest - including Whangamamona. This small town declared itself a Republic in the 1990s. You can buy a passport from the hotel there.
It was a long trip, with many bendy road and hill climbs - often together - but there were some lovely and interesting views and sights to be seen along the way. By the time we reached the town at the end and had found a motel, I was very, very tired.
