Goodbye New Zealand

Enjoying a quiet but lovely week in New Plymouth with the family.


Goodbye to the views from Oakura as the family move into town (New Plymouth)


Pastures new for shadow friends to explore

The Te Henui stream in town


And new views of the mountain

Indeed we are


Ben took me up the very steep Paritutu Rock in New Plymouth for stunning views in all directions

Views south towards Oakura

Meal out tonight with Ben and the rest of the family. Flight to Auckland tomorrow and then to Japan on Saturday.
