New Plymouth reunion－C'est LA viE

=the first night= (25/11)

Ok so, this is another reunion trip, can be considered the following trip of Hamilton on Labour weekend.

This time, New Plymouth was selected to be the destination in consideration of time and preference. Uncle geng like to go to somewhere close to the ocean, and the travel time to New Plymouth matched our limited time schedule perfectly.

we wait for Jessie at the Intercity bus stop after we arrived, and the bus-stop shelter is so "beachy", with these surfing boards decorations...and this shelter is really ideal for ppl to rest and wait for others to come pick up them. =)

Thanks to me and Jessie, we found a good motel with brilliant service. I felt so delighted to be treated as VIP, although the motel’s manager, Tony was not driving a Mercedes, however, it was awesome that someone come to pick us up from the bus stop.

The wind was strong on that night upon our arrival. The night of New Plymouth was alright, oh well, we did not able to get to see much of the night life.

Uncle Geng was forced to be isolated in the only room in our unit, we were hoping we could get rid of his loud snore and get a good sleep. We were having pillow talk until 1 something that night, and the bed was so comfortable, much more better than the bed I have in Palmy...=S

And surprisingly, either Uncle geng had less snores, or the wall in our unit is thick enough, I dint hear anything and slept very well =)

=the second day=(26/11)

We woke up like around 8 something, after breakfast, we went to this park where is closed to our motel, Pukekura park. This park is really huge, and it has a zoo (mini version) inside!!!

and we had so much fun at the playground....LOL

Look at the Mt taranaki at the back of me!! ( I noe, my hair was a mess!)

lying on the grass was my favourite recently =P

we took so many photos....

and the zoo....well is a mini zoo...., so nt much animal to see, but well fair enough....

However, we did not get to explore the entire park due to limited time and everyone was craving for lunch. So we went to city centre, and have lunch. According to someone’s recommendation, we have our lunch in the food court!! “really nice”!!

Then, we walked the costal walkway, partly....The only icon I saw was the wind wand, other than that, just rocks, black beach and sea...I am pretty sure, it would be good if we able to walk the entire coastal walkway, however, we have no time...and we dint plan this trip very well and I am pretty sure they just don’t want to walk the entire day.

Shirley and Geng were quite looking forward for swimming in the sea, but the fact is, swimming seems too dangerous there, and no one did it. Therefore, they were like just wearing swimming suit for 15 mins, and have photos....haha
