11. Part 1 - New Plymouth Exploration
15 de enero de 2019, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
After a nice sleep we generally relaxed all morning but left at around 10 to explore the area. Lindsay showed us some of his childhood homes and interesting places and then walked the dog along the waterfront. Climbed a rocky and steep rock called Paretutu where on the top half of the climb you had to use all fours. Good exercise. Afterwards we visited the Len Lye Museum which was very interesting, watched some of his experiments in action. Had lunch and then relaxed a bit and walked the dog for an hour along a track. Part 2 - Pukekura Park coming soon!Leer más

11. Part 2 - Pukekura Park
15 de enero de 2019, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ⛅ 19 °C
After a scrumptious dinner of Chicken Salad, we walked along our ‘secret’ path to Pukekura Park. It was a bit light at first but the lights turned on at around 8.30. We discovered a very cool Bellringing Simulator with no real bells but you could make sounds and patterns if you pulled a certain time. Had a nice ice cream then a Boat ride over the lake which was a brilliant place to enjoy the lights. Walked around the park a bit more and left the disappointing market quite quickly. The lights, light art and sculptures were phenomenal. Walked home in total blackness.Leer más

Día 12
12 - New Plymouth City and Bridge
16 de enero de 2019, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ⛅ 20 °C
Today we visited a very spectacular bridge on a track near bell block. Captured some spectacular photos. Had a good morning swim in the New Plymouth Pool until 1pm, it had some crazy as water slides. Afterwards we had free time in New Plymouth. I wandered around looking at Old Churches and headed up to Marsland hill but missed out on the carillon sounds. But managed to hear the tower clock strike. Had dinner of Fush and Chups at Oakura beach and had a swim in the very dangerous and high waves. Very good day today.Leer más

Día 13
13 - On the way home
17 de enero de 2019, Nueva Zelanda ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
I’ll put the Location to Hawera because that is where we spent the most time. Anyhow We left early at around 8.30 and made our way home along the wonderful state highway three along the mountain. We headed off through Stratford and off to Dawson falls which is a beautiful waterfall on the mountain but to our horror there was a song saying you weren’t allowed dogs, not even in your car! So I made the ultimate sacrifice and walked the dog back along the road where we came from and 5 very happy people picked me up again near the intersection. After that we visited a cool museum and water tower in Hawera, a beautiful Maori Gift Shop in Whanganui (in Taranaki dialect pronounced Hwanganui) and our next stop was home. What an Amazing trip!Leer más
