Journeys: New Plymouth

After Tauranga, we drove to New Plymouth. Leaving the Bay of Plenty close to the east cost, we eventually found ourselves following the western coast before arriving in the Taranaki region. Here are photos - long overdue.

this is what I do in New Zealand - frolic.

Mt Taranaki (aka Egmont)  -- which you can see for kilometers (or miles if you prefer)

stones stacked randomly along NP's Coastal Walkway 

beautiful whalebone bridge

on the way home, we stopped at the Waitomo Glowworm caves - which was glorious.
