A slow start this morning but we get on with a bit of admin and they have a coffee machine in our room which is a bonus

We are ready and head out around noon; we have a place in mind for some brunch but it’s annoyingly closed today

Inglewood has a backup plan for us: Caffe Windsor

Two open steak ciabatta sandwiches with chips and a couple of flat whites

Time to get on with our activity for today… however, it seems our luck with the weather isn’t strong as it’s a very cloudy and damp day – we can barely make out Mount Taranaki, which we were hoping to hike up some of

We alter plans and head back to New Plymouth where the bad weather continues so just go back to the hotel to do a bit more admin as well as having a paddle in the pool (see the featured image)

As it gets dark, we get ready again and walk towards town as we’ve found that Flame Indian Restaurant has a special deal on

CTM, beef jalfrazi, peshwari naan, cheese & garlic naan as well as a kingfisher beer and a sauvingnon blanc

We finish the day watching The Marksman on Netflix
