So I got to thinking the other day that from the bits and pieces I manage to get on here, all my dear loyal readers must have gotten at least some small idea of what I get up to in the Southern Hemisphere, but that you likely have little idea of what my daily life is like. So, I made some time on a lovely sunny day and went about town to take a few pictures to show you.
My commute to work:
 |
| My street :) The sea is on the other side of the trees |
 |
| Down the walkway towards City Centre |
 |
| Cut across the lawn or carpark to the bus stops |
Finding yummies:
 |
Freshworld seems to have the best/cheapest produce,
and I enjoy that it's right next to a very nice butcher shop for fresh meat |
 |
For everything else, Pak 'n Save is cheapest,
Burger King just inserted itself into my picture ;) |
 |
| Good spot for a quick/yummy/affordable snack |
 |
Best sushi in New Plymouth :)
|
The walkway (which you have probably already seen endless pictures of but oh well):
 |
| Low tide, the sand is not visible once the tide comes in |
 |
The port is just around the bend, between the
beach and the rocks in the distance (called the Sugar Loaf Islands) |
 |
| One of the rigs that's always offshore |
 |
| Wind Wand |
Spots around town:
 |
| One of the historic buildings |
 |
| Old hotel |
 |
Brightest building downtown, soon to have a new restaurant
opening up inside, name of "Mexico", but I'm not holding my breath for stellar
Mexican fare, as I have yet to find any here :) |
 |
The music store that I end up at on a very regular basis :)
and two doors down is the dojo |
 |
| Cool coffee shop |
 |
| The "mall", although I'm told it's not really big enough to be considered a mall |
 |
| Two of the churches I've performed in |
 |
| Devon Street, the main street through town |
