7/3/09 - 9/3/09 Raglan - New Plymouth (Fitzroy Beach)

Left Raglan after having a mooch around the small surfy town. The weather was not too good so Jay decided against having surf lessons!
Still laughing about how many wee's I have to get up for in the night!
We stopped at Waitomo Caves on the way down & went on a guided walk & boat tour though the deep caves to gaze up at the glowworms. Amazing, just like twinkly stars in the night.
We got to Fitzroy beach late afternoon & booked into a nice camp by the sea. They had black sand here! J cooked a lush meatball dinner but the gas ran out half way through so he transferred to the kitchen & we met some drunken girlies who were funny!
The next day we walked along the coastal walkway for 7km & then back through town for beers in the Irish bar then back towards camp stopping for another beer where we had missed the $10 roast Sunday dinner, gutted!
Got up the next day for Jay to have his 1st surf lesson! He got the wetsuit on & looked quite buff! He managed to get up but needs more practise to get up to championship standards me thinks!
Trucked on after lunch around the coast to Wanganui for the night.
