New Plymouth Coastal Walk
Hey guys,
It was our 4 year anniversary last week so we (ok well I once again) decided to go to New Plymouth for the weekend since we havn’t been there in a long time.
All I wanted to do during the weekend was walk to Coastal Walk and come home via the Surf Highway - and not spend heaps of money cas I’m a cheaparse!
Saturday Morning we awoke and it was a crap day - yay for us, no rain though so once again can’t complain too much.
We decided to walk straight out the back of our motel through a bowls club and onto the part of the Coastal Walk which was right outside our motel (yes motel I wasn’t that cheap on our anniversary and splurged for a basic motel rather than a backpackers!) - a couple of KM later and we had made it to the town centre and someone was hungry so we made a detour to Brumbies (Bakery) to get some food then head back on our way - we managed to walk not far past the pools and Brad noticed that the rain in the distance was coming closer and closer very quickly… we were not prepared and didn’t have jackets or an umbrella so we started to run back towards town - it was only about 1.5KM away but by the time we got there we were pretty wet! We went to Crowded House for lunch (one of the only restaurants in New Plymouth believe it or not) - delicious food by the way for $15-20 for a meal can’t complain at that (see I’m not that cheap really).
After lunch it was still crap but not raining so we made our way back to the motel and relaxed for a bit then decided to go for a drive, we went out near the airport and down by the port - we discovered that Paratutu was an actual place name - who would have known?! Took some nice pics which would have been a lot nicer if the day was nice!
Thats about it for our adventure today - except for the fact that we wanted to go to the Speights Ale House for tea - they had run out of food?! WTF? since they were changing the menu the next week - so we just went to Burger Fuel instead - gotto be better than McD’s!
Onwards to Sunday…
