New Plymouth Anew – Day 1

When Bob and I knew we would be coming back to New Zealand we knew we had to make time to get to New Plymouth where we did our first international house sit. That house sit was for two dogs, Jess and Baz, for 6 weeks back in 2015.

We have just had two lovely days revisiting some of our favorite areas in New Plymouth. It felt great to walk around and remember various places. We stayed at a motel near where our house sit was, so we started by walking by having breakfast at a favorite neighborhood spot and then walking by “our” house. We didn’t stop by to see the homeowners, as they have since moved to Auckland.

We also visited the Te Henui Cemetery along the trail — really beautiful and peaceful.

After walking along the Te Henui path inland, we walked it out to the coast to walk along the Coastal Walkway away from the town center.

What luck! Looking across the bridge to the mighty Mt Taranaki.
