The whole family got to go on a trip this time! We went to do the Taranaki Loop, today we mostly did Route 45.
We stopped at a little beach not long into the drive and explored a cool pier with big waves washing onto it now and then, then went over the beach to check out an old ship wreck! It's been there years. Jen climbed on it and I got some pics, then she took pics as I climbed on it....and promptly got soaked by a huuuge wave, which Jen didn't get pics of! Haha typical.
From there we carried on with the tour and saw loads of things, including those in the pictures below :]

Ahh, sorry I should've given you warning about the wreck x.X;
The whale rib arch is a sculpture, NZ'ers seem to like putting these weird but kinda cool things around XD
And my like my Mum explained below, the red spike thing is a wind wand, it's flexible and bobs to the wind, I thought it was pretty cool :]

Tall red spike is called a Wind Wand. It waves in the wind and the bulb at the top is lit at night so spooky light waving in the breeze

Me too! Last time I give you a camera without setting it to movie when approaching water XD Ah, maybe not xp
That cow is pretty cool, I bet the artist was this | | far from making the tongue lick the cows nose like they usually do xp
