Lunching at Mr. Badger's cafe in Hawera.

I get the feeling that the Mastoverse will appreciate this as much as I do.

Trip-To Taranaki

Waipipi wind farm #SouthTaranaki

Our final outbound stop is the King Edward Park in Hawera. We found Wendy, had an insect race, traipsed through a beautiful rose garden, and pretended to be pirates. Not shown: us reciting horrid poetry to each other through the "sound mirrors". You'll have to visit yourself to figure out what that means

This #SouthTaranaki adventure has been awesome!!

Now for the drive home around the other side of the mountain.

Place bets now whether Mr Zizabeph falls asleep in the passenger seat

Still at Kaupokonui...birding (so many gannets!), and a run down the dunes. Oh, and of course, ice cream from the camp store (along with cleaning sand out of shoes, a summertime must-do).

Just past the surfboard wall is the clifftop garden.

A wander through there before retiring to the Māwhero Studio for a tea and an art project. Guesses where we got our inspiration?

Then a wander past the surfboard wall in Ōpunake - which one of us looks more like a surfer?

Lunch at the Sugar Juice cafe in Ōpunake, where there is a secret outdoor dining area, across from where you can pretend to race Peter Snell. #SouthTaranaki
Taking our time to walk along the coast and admire the flowers
