From the southernmost part of the north island we drive to the westernmost part and the city of New Plymouth. On the way we stop for lunch at Whanganui. As we walk around, we enjoy the vibrant downtown area of this city that has retained a mix of the old and the new.

The peninsula that juts out into the Tasman Sea was formed by Mt Taranaki, an almost perfect volcanic cone. We were pleased that, as we approached the peak, the clouds cleared away giving us a great view.

In New Plymouth, we stayed at the very nice King and Queen Hotel Suites. Our third floor room looked out over the city's main art gallery.
