We headed south from Kerikeri and stayed a night in Whangarei. The bus was booked in at a glass place to fix a cracked windscreen. Then we went to Waipu for the night before heading through Auckland and down to Ngaruawahia, where we spent the night beside the river.
Next stop, Bell Block just outside New Plymouth. The motorhome park has views of Mt Taranaki and is close to the cycle trail along the coast into New Plymouth.
First the track goes through bush and parkland at Bell Block...
Then we came to some sort of special truck show. It was huge - I took a video but obviously this platform doesn't support videos. So, just a picture of an old fire truck.
This bridge is on the coastal walkway/cycleway. Mt Taranaki in the background.
Malcolm at the other side. It's like a whale skeleton.
Along the coast. The beaches here are all black sand.
We stopped at a pop up cafe and had hot crossed buns - it's Easter Sunday. Malcolm has a Lawrence of Arabia hat under his helmet for sun protection.😀
This is the wind wand, a kinetic sculpture at New Plymouth. We had lunch in town then cycled back.
