• New Plymouth - Waitimo ♟️

    August 26 in New Zealand ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    Today, took a slight change of plans due to the fact that the Waitomo Glowworm Caves didn't have any availability for us, so we took the time slot of 9am tomorrow.

    This allowed us to slow down a little and have an explore around New Plymouth. The sun was out, jumpers were off and were fully taking in the warmer weather.

    Another day, another successful pie for Callum. After a review to Mhari each an everytime, I'm still unfortunately competing for a pie to take over top spot at Arthur's Pass (all the way at the start of the trip 🤦).

    Once we finished having a nice stroll around the town, we got back onto the road and headed to our campsite for the evening. Of course we can't just sit and relax doing nothing when I'm around, so we walked over to the big game of chess, which you will all laugh at but I'm very proud of Mhari for having the patience to participate in the whole game and finish it (she didn't really know what she was doing, but we got it done!).

    To finish off the evening before we cooked up some dinner, we decided to use the facilities and jump in the hot tub, which was a lovely way to relax before we settled in the van for the evening!

    Glow worm cave tour tomorrow!
