New Plymouth and the Taranaki region

Hello @ll,
So, today I drove back from New Plymouth to Hamilton. With some GPS and SD card problems we finally finished the survey in Port Taranaki succesfully. With my cold it was a little bit exhausting, but we made it.
After that it was almost dark, so I went to the cinema to see "Brüno". It's funny, but I think that the best scenes are already shown in the trailer. Pretty funny is his german (at least in the english version). His german is really quite bad.
Then after another night in my superfancy hotel and a very good breakfast with bagels and fresh fruits I drove home. I stopped for a coffee in Piopio. Pretty cool cafe there. You can't miss it. It's probably the only bigger one in the small town.
Unfortunately, my cold got worse. So I got some food and DVDs and stayed the rest of the day at home. Anyway, it was raining. I saw "The Dark Night" and "Hellboy II: the Golden Army". And probably, I will watch "Brothers of the Head" later.
Tomorrow I will continue hanging out and relaxing and will go in the afternoon to Raglan. Hopefully, we get the survey done there on monday.
I'll keep you posted,
Nina
