in that Samurai movie from Tom Cruise. lolz The Last Samurai
yes NP is indeed the biggest city. Whenever I tell someone where I am from and they dont get it I say "near New Plymouth" and you can see the light turn on on top of their head heh.
and the best part without a doubt was the video that explained how Mount Taranaki (and the better part of the North Island really) was created by the continuous eruptions of volcanoes in the area. I so agree. I know there were heaps of cool collections on view but that tiny video was my most memorable experience because I can't believe how many times Taranaki has become flat (I can't recall the technical term :P) then risen up again due to the volcano.
In the art gallery there were some really random displays. lol tell me about it. I still don't understand that car thing. The artist we saw was responsible for that piece btw. that cow one was hilarious!
OFCOURSE we were going to end up choosing the wrong way. This is so us lol
At least we'd had a beautiful, though unintentional, scenic ride getting there xD heh I guess that made up for it! That and the sheer lolz+headesk of not noticing the lake flowing right next to us XD
For dinner we had AWESOME rotis with dahl, spicy potatoes and beans with a (homemade?) cheese (I still don't know, fail!). ah yes there is a name for that cheese - it is paneer and what we had was capsicum paneer. And the dahl on that particular day was moong dahl (I think I told you that there are a wide varieties of dahl at some point).
I adore all the pictures you posted sooo much ♥
heee my mom was totally stressing before about whether you'd like the Heffalump or not. Whittaker's we all knew HAS to be liked. No choice about it!
That mocha espresso was totally as good as it looks yummmm
omglol I forgot about that park sign XD It used to amuse me on my walks back from school a lot heh
