Hanging in the 'naki

After the total chill out of Tongaporutu, we were ready for the hussle and bussle of the big smoke, so we headed to New Plymouth.
PB insisted on wearing his full Batman suit just donated by Cassius (thanks again guys!).
We were there on a splendid day, so jumped on the bikes and headed along the waterfront to the wind wand,  then up the road to the Govett Brewster Art Gallery. Very impressed with everything!
Headed out of town to Stratford, where our campground afforded us a neat peek of the mountain.
On the way, we stopped at the Fun Ho! Toy Museum in Inglewood.  (Thank you, Nana!).  PB squealed with delight more than once.  Cool the way they have the toys in glass cases but the kids get to push buttons to start all the moveable toys (trains, slot cars, etc).
And to end the day we headed into the National Park and did a short walk to Dawson Falls.
Taranaki,  you did not disappoint.
