    New Plymouth

    17 de noviembre de 2020, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C

    We stopped in New Plymouth for a day to explore the city. We had a look at the Te Rewa Rewa Bridge (if you look closely you can see Mount Taranaki through the bridge) and the Wind Wand at the waterfront. We also walked through Pukekura Park and Brooklands Park which included a free zoo. The inner city of New Plymouth had lots of awesome street art and a cool looking museum 🤖Leer más

    Kiwi House

    20 de noviembre de 2020, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C

    Because it's so hard to see a Kiwi in the wild (they are nocturnal and very shy) we went to the Kiwi House and Native Bird Park in Otorohanga. They had two nocturnal houses and we actually managed to see three Kiwis which was pretty amazing.
    We weren't allowed to take any pictures of the Kiwis 🥝    Leer más

    As the weather wasn't that great we treated ourselves to a spa day. The Polynesian Spa has geothermal hot pools with temperatures between 38 and 41.5°C. The water comes from two natural springs and contains many different minerals. The slightly acidic Priest Spring is said to relieve tired muscles, aches and pains while the alkaline waters of the Rachel Spring nourish skin.Leer más
