Travelled down the mountain into New Plymouth and took a walk around the Pukekura Park.
This is an Arboretum style park with a Ginkgo Biloba tree planted in 1880
as well as a two thousand year old Puriri tree.

There was a lovely lake with an outdoor Concert arena which had hosted many top stars.
Further down the coast we went past the Cape Egmont lighthouse and then on to Hawera to walk up its Water tower, which was famous because an Earthquake during construction left it leaning.
We spent the night at Wangnui on the waters edge and took a stroll to visit the centre of the town which is lit by gas lamps.
