Well hosted in New Plymouth

What is it about Rotarians?  Why are they so accommodating and friendly?  Why does it not surpirse Jenny and me that we are so well looked after!!  This is what we continue to experience with the 12 Clubs we have visited.

Today we were first taken to PDG Stuart Hayton (see my next Blog) and then on to Te Rewa Rewa Bridge which is on the New Plymouth walkway that the New Plymouth Cluster is keen to support with the erection of shelters.  Then on to Tupare - a wonderful home, the beautifully restored Chapman/Taylor home and garden on the hillside overlooking the Waiwhakaiho River - the home of the late Sir Russell Matthews - view more here Rotary has assisted in developing facilities around this wonderful home.  [Pictured: The Te Rewea Rewa Bidge; President Barry (Fitzroy) shows Jenny the gate house constructed by local Rotary Clubs]
