We are staying in New Plymouth for a couple of days with my sister. She lives near the port and there is always lots to see. In port is a cruise ship and a cargo ship with wind generating turbine blades. The blades are being unloaded and they are huge! It's an interesting place to stay and we have had a couple of great swims.
The turbine blades are for the Waipipi Wind Farm just north of Waverly - it's typically West Coast Windy at the moment, so if you need a break from it I suggest the "Dept Cafe" on the corner of Devon and King St, opposite Peggy Gordons ;)
