New Plymouth
8 mars 2019, Nya Zeeland ⋅ 🌧 17 °C
The largest town in Taranaki, New Plymouth, is a popular destination from Stratford in the summer because it has a beach, near the port. Ngamotu Beach--like all those around Taranaki--is a black sand beach. Nga motu means "the islands" in Maori and there are several islands just offshore, formed by the same volcanic activity that formed Mt. Taranaki. For many years, oil was pumped from beneath the beach.

Puke Ariki is a state-of-the-art museum of natural history and the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, with its recently acquired reflective skin, has an eclectic collection of contemporary NZ art. The plants growing round the tree outside the gallery are their own art!

New Plymouth also had a power station that used natural gas and fuel oil to generate electricity. The chimney stack and buildings are still there, but it is no longer in operation.Läs mer

Mt. Taranaki, worlds prettiest volcano
6 maj 2017, Nya Zeeland ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
Andrew and Yvonne had planned a visit at a friends in Taranaki and i wanted to head to New Plymouth anyway so we did the journey together. I was looking forward visiting this place again, I had such a good time there five years ago and I just love this volcano which seems just being dropped there and forgotten. While driving we could see it in all its beauty with some snow on the top. In the Maori saying the volcanos were fighting over a female volcano and only one won so the others, as Taranaki, had to go as far away as possible from them. Poor volcano.
I checked in at the Fitzroy holiday park. The beach there is known to be a very good surf spot. I walked all the way at the coast to rock Paritutu. The view is still beautiful as it was a couple of years ago. Mt. Taranaki was hidden behind clouds, but not this evening on my walk on the black sand beach during sunset. And i met a Saint Bernard. Big drooling dog of 70kg.Läs mer

Mt. Taranaki / New Plymouth
27 februari 2017, Nya Zeeland ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
On my way down from Auckland to the South Island I made a quick stop in New Plymouth to climt Mt. Taranaki. Unfortunately this mountain is very tricky, as weather changes so quickly on top. I went halfway up and it got so foggy that I had to turn around cause I was afraid Id get lost... So all days were beautiful in New Plymouth, I rented a bike, drove along the coast, went shopping and sat in many Cafés...but everytime I looked up to that mountain, there was this stupid cloud. 🗻Läs mer

Nächster Stop: New Plymouth! Um uns ein bisschen von der Autofahrt zu erholen, ging es erstmal kurz die Küste entlang. Danach sind wir in den Pukekura Park gegangen, wo es einen Wasserfall, einen See und einen kostenlosen Zoo gab, hatten aber leider nur noch 5 Minuten Zeit weil er um 5 geschlossen hat :)Läs mer

Gyfawkes Night
5 november 2016, Nya Zeeland ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C
Am späten Nachmittag am Samstag bin ich in New Plymouth angekommen. Die Stadt ist, was die Infrastruktur angeht, etwas kompliziert und Parkmöglichkeiten sind eher rar. Deswegen und weil ich Hunger hatte bin ich erstmal zu McDonalds. Bin dort mit einem Mann am Nachbartisch ins Gespräch gekommen, der mit seinen zwei Kindern da war. Er hat mir dann angeboten, dass ich bei ihm auf der Couch schlafen kann, was ich dankend angenommen habe. ☺
Da am 5.11. Gyfawkes Day ist sind wir dann noch zum Strand gefahren und haben ein kleines Feuerwerk gemacht 😊Läs mer

Waitomo to New Plymouth
4 februari, Nya Zeeland ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Visit to Waitimo caves. Lit up by glow worms. Interesting to discuss their life cycle. Amazing to see as you travel through the dark caves.
Drove to Marokopa Falls. The scenery was stunning. Lots oc beautiful tree ferns.
Short walk through a tropical forest to an amazing waterfall.
We then followed the route given to us on Google maps and Simon drove for 48kms up and down very windy roads and across miles of dirt tracks.
Eventually back on the main roads. Stop off at Mokau for coffee and then stopped near the 3 sisters. Stunning views, but unable to walk across tide coming in.
Arrived in our beautiful accommodation in New Plymouth.
Walk along the coastal path and then Simon cooked supper.
An amazing dayLäs mer

Ich halte mich tapfer und halte den Tag durch, der eigentlich eine Nacht sein sollte. Gleich darf ich endlich schlafen. Immerhin ist es dunkel und morgen lockt die Aussicht auf Sonnenschein.

New Plymouth
10 februari 2019, Nya Zeeland ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
On a pris la route de New Plymouth au petit matin, toujours en prenant les "Scenic Roads", plus jolies mais également escarpées, montagneuses et en mauvais état. La "vraie" Nouvelle-Zélande !

Déjeuner en front de mer et préparation de notre randonnée qui doit nous emmener sur les pentes de ce volcan à la cime enneigé, non sans rappeler le Mont Fuji.

Mais c'était sans compter sur la météo néo-zélandaise ultra-capricieuse, justifiant leur maxime : "En Nouvelle-Zélande, on peut avoir 4 saisons en 1 seul jour".
En effet, arrivés au point de départ de notre randonnée, la température chute brutalement, les nuages obstruent le sommet puis une fine pluie s'invite. Pas de randonnée.

Retour sur la côte, où le ciel est azur. Consolation sur une plage de sable de noir, le Mont Taranaki se découvrant à mesure que notre frustration augmente.

Pour finir, bières locales et camping en bord de mer agrémentés d'un superbe coucher de soleil.Läs mer

11. Part 2 - Pukekura Park
15 januari 2019, Nya Zeeland ⋅ ⛅ 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.Läs mer
