Due to wet weather, we did not get to enjoy views of Mt. Taranaki, but we still enjoyed our visit to the New Plymouth area, and our accommodations at 16 Havelock. Brad will need to update his photos of the front of the house, to show off his newly built and wonderful terrace. We did have a break in the clouds the night we stayed at 16 Havelock, and very much enjoyed sitting at the table on the terrace, sipping wine and chatting with another couple staying in the home. I even was able to do some star gazing and caught my first glimpse of the Southern Cross. Brad and Fujiko keep their property very tidy, and provide a good breakfast; unfortunately, because we lingered over breakfast chatting with Brad instead of putting the final touches on our packing, we felt pressure to clear our bags out of the room so bedding could be changed in preparation for the next guests.
