Bye Bye New Plymouth!

So, I officially left New Plymouth the other day....I'm actually kinda sad about leaving...I really like it there...like I could totally see myself living there! I am going to miss being by the ocean SOOOOOO much! I spent the day before I left on the beach surfing and soaking up the sun...it was like a perfect day!

This is Back Beach in New Plymouth where I was. I miss it already....I know I'm going to have lots of fun with Tony and Steph tho!


Here is one last view of the mtn...most of the snow has melted...those are the neighbor's cows.











Well...here I am...back in the car...it took me 5 hours to drive down to Gladstone...and I only stopped once!



Here are some new baby pine trees that have been planted that I saw on my way. Pine logging I guess is big in parts.




This is Marlborough-Masterton Rd where Steph and Tony live. The landscape is quite different...it's pretty much all farmland and a lot drier that the Taranaki region.




Here is their house...they live right on the farm where Tony works.





And here is the view from the deck. Lot's sheepies around here :)


That's about all my exciting news for now...miss everyone back home!

Hello Pam,

Looks like you went from the Shire to Rohan.

I like the new house. If I were there I would sit on the porch all day dressed like Gus drinkin whiskey and eatin biskets. I might even learn to like playing cards.
