When leaving Dunedin, and traveling North, the road takes you up into the hills. These hills are known for the cloud formations that often surround them; in fact the area is sometimes referred to as a “cloud forest”. Often as you travel along the road it does feel like it is a journey into the clouds, at least until you get to the top of the hill and see the North Otago coastline spread out below. You then realise it is time to leave the clouds and move down to the road that weaves its way along this coastline. There is no doubt that the road north is one of contrasts.
