February 9th-Day 2

Today Liza and I are taking a bus (Naked Bus) to New Plymouth. We were able to have a connection with  a Christian writer, Carolyn Ann Aish and we will be staying at her home for several days. She will take us around the New Plymouth area and show us the sights.

 This is some of the country side that we saw on our bus trip to New Plymouth. Everything is very green and it is mostly agriculture, not developed. There are many sheep and cattle next to the ocean.

 During our lunch break we stopped at Mokau, this is our first sight of Sea.

 Once we got to New Plymouth Carolyn picked us up at the bus stop and took us straight to the Tasman Sea. In the photo is a wind wand. A local artist made it, so you tell the direction of the wind.

This is another photo of the Tasman Sea. Here in New Zealand they have black sand, also called Iron Sand. It all around this area.

Carolyn took us to meet some of her family that evening and we came back to her place where me and Liza have been staying in a camper trailer.  We do plan on being here for a couple more days, and then head on down to Christchurch.
