I grew up here until I finished high school in 2014. Very nostalgic seeing so many familiar places. Thank you for sharing.

You will be blown away once you guys get to Christchurch. Get there on a nice day and you are in for a treat. Enjoy the rest of your travels.

Oh so looking forward to it we’re trying to see every part of New Zealand 😄 thanks brother means alotn

Taranaki is a stunning region and on my opinion is underrated in terms of its beauty. The reason its cold and wet is because its on the west coast of island in the middle of ocean at the bottom of the world with no real land mass near it. Along with the cold ocean wind hitting the side of the mountain. There is also some interesting history in the region. Is should suggest looking into the Taranaki wars to get an understanding of it.

New Plymouth is a beautiful town.I lived there 74,75 and have been back to visit a few times. The weather can be a challenge but when you get a sunny day it is a very special place.

@colinodonnell8975 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing the views and how clean it is. As a South African, I think I should apply a job there.😀

Go for it! It’s a great place and super safe too compared to South America 😎❤️

It's nice to see visitors enjoying our country and so enthusiastic about things we New Zealanders so often take for granted. New Plymouth is indeed a great city with a spectacular setting, very welcoming people and a nice vibe. We almost located there, but in the end Napier won out.

Shhhh ! Don’t let the secret out !

I moved here from the UK and love it. You should have gone up Paritutu rock and walked on Back Beach. Probably the best spot. Even though sometimes the weather is wet, we do get a lot of sunny days too.

I lived in NP from 1960-1965. Completely different city in those days. Main shopping was done on a Friday, with the shops staying open quite late. Although all drinking establishments closed at 6 pm every day! Hardly any shops open over the weekend. Had to be 21 to drink alcohol, but could ride any size motorbike and drive cars at 15. I've been back for holidays 3 times over the years, as I still have family there. Still love the whole of New Zealand, particularly New Plymouth.

@GlenAndMado 6 месяцев назад

We feel you! Probably a very different place back in them days. Would love to experience the 60s in New Zealand. I'd say it felt even more isolated away from the world!

@48billy0 6 месяцев назад

@GlenAndMado I remember in the 60's, to phone the UK, a call had to be pre- booked, and it cost £1 per minute! Also, on the way there, by ship of course, my family gave me the news that NZ didn't have TV at all.

@kiwionarope 8 месяцев назад

That spot where you said isnt a great spot for surfing, is known as Bog Works, its where the old Sewer comes out into the coean and its a fabulious spot for a paddle.

@dforestation2064 9 месяцев назад

Be sure to put a few hours aside to explore Pukekura Park while you are there.

@kiwionarope 8 месяцев назад

You should make your way to Newfoundland, Canada. As a Kiwi living in Canada, to me, Newfoundland is one of the places that is most like New Zealand. When I first got off the Ferry in Port aux Basques, NL and started driving through the mountains...my brain thought I was home in NZ, it was very emotional. I think thats why I have such a connection to NL, because it is so much like home for me. Yes, even the weather there is like Taranaki, it has its moments where it is just pure shite. But humans are very sturdy creatures, we adapt and push on, just like Newfondlanders, no heartier a breed then them.

@GlenAndMado 8 месяцев назад

Do you know what thats were the Irish immigrated actually and theres a lot of Irish history there! its just like Ireland also :) we have been living in Quebec so basically we were right beside it! Unfortunately we never made it that far and we wish we did :(

Spicey chai latte I buy, as it's not so sweet. Sometimes I ask for them to be half strength as they have sooooo much sugar!😊

@jungleman4921 7 месяцев назад

I was born in NewPlymouth,but moved away because of the extra cold winds coming off the mountain and up the coast from Wellington region dueing winter months.Also on a Sunday the city was always dead.

If you think New Plymouth has been sh-t weather this spring,try Wellington. It’s been hard trying to stand up!

@GlenAndMado 9 месяцев назад

We’re currently in wellington brother for the next 2 weeks! So excited to explore fully🙂

@MAte925 7 месяцев назад

They don't call it windy Wellington for notn'

@onetahua Месяц назад

At least Wellington has some life in it

@AllIsWellaus 8 месяцев назад

Its quiet because its still a smaller population. Around 87,500, and New Plymouth is a hugely spread out City. I haven't lived here since 95 and its changed a lot. Do some research of the places.

I went back to NP a few years ago after the expressways were built,and visited relations and freinds.Unfortunitly I was not impressed with the city at all.I stayed at the Bell Block motorcamp.The heavy waves throwed salt spray right towards my Camper, the heavy winds was as if I was in Wellington.I drove up towards the mountain to get a veiw,but the traffic was banked up and I couldnt drive any further,having to turn arround and come back.The car park at the top was already full.Pukekura park was the only place I felt okay about.But driving towards NP from MT Messenger end was far more pleasent through those small towns and beaches than NP its self.

Does Mado also workout in the gym as she seems pretty fit?

She comes along with me but only does it the odd time she prefers yoga and stuff 🧘‍♀️

@AllIsWellaus 8 месяцев назад

I grew up in Taranaki and we get some of the heaviest rains, like the West coast of the South Island. I find it incredible how much people moan and winge of the temperature here. Look at the situation of the country. Where decent clothing. They remind me of this English family sitting next to our table when I used to live in Dunedin.
