Day 26 - New Plymouth- Day 3

This morning I had a book that Lynette had given me in Invercargill so I wanted to read the last 100 pages so I could return it to her. Alas I see it still sitting here when we have had our last good byes. Blast it.
The weather has been pretty grotty here today with strong wind and hail a few times. Did manage a short walk to see take a photo of Fulton Hogan, New Plymouth branch for my brother Winston that works for them in ChCh.
Once again Lynette picked me up and we went for late lunch/early tea. We went down by the habour and had the best seafood chowder I have eaten in along while. I wonder if the chap in the hammock was cold?
We sat by the sea and watched the wind surfers, people braving the waves and talking.
More driving around to see interesting things. Like other places loads of walkways. The white bridge is part of the costal walkway but the weather was too rough to walk it.
Back to Lynette's for a shower and hair wash. She had dried and folded my washing. Forgot the photo again but there is the one of us the boat together. She has been so good to me.
For the next part of my journey there isn't a plan like I have had up until now. I did start writing a few notes and studying the map. I want to go as far as Kaitaia. Not sure of what and where I will go from here. No luck with the seeing Mount Taranaki, what happened to the cloud fairies??Read more
