Didnt have time for a blog last night so here is yesterdays.
We were supposed to leave early for New Plymouth so we could take the lost highway but due to a catalogue of stuff we didnt get to go that way. The catalogue of stuff was that Nik's mate from college drove into the back of his car and all but wrote it off so he had to pick up a hire car in the morning. He had also forgotten to sign his time sheets so he had to go back into college. Eventually we got going though and went into town to post some stuff and get breakfast. Although curry for breakfast will sound like a great idea to a few of you, I cannot recommend it. Unless your prepared for your tummy to be in shock for the rest of the day.
On the way down (which is a spectacular sight) we went to fruit stalls and beer stalls, stopped at an inlet to take photos of Mount Taranaki and draw sand paintings. The beach sand is black and shows up pictures really well. There were also a large number of coffee stops for a tired Nik who couldnt share the driving of the hire car unfortunately.
We finally got to the hotel that Penny was having her meeting at and took off for the Surf club to see Daisy and friends and go say hello to the beach. Nik bought us Fish and Chips yay!
Our hostel is on the other side of the town and we are in a challet. Hands up everyone who knows Faye is scared of spiders and Im scared of Moths? You guessed it, we spent an hour before bed trying to plug up every hole they could get through. Bugs, BLEUGH! Never mind, neither of us slept very well but we shall survive. Ive seen where Nik and Penny are staying in the challet across from us and Im glad I dont have that far to walk. Theres a lot of dutch and german backpackers here and one of them taught me to play the Ukulele last night. I now know another instrument!
In a little while, Nik is turning up after dropping Penny off to her morning meeting and then we are going for coffee with one of his friends and off for a surf hopefully if he doesnt decide to spend the whole day drinking coffee.
Its going to be 29 degrees today. Wharrrmmm.
See you all soon
Love Tui and Kiwi xxx
