Out And About!

Hands up if you've ever been to a museum...
Yesterday we visited our local museum Puke Ariki and took our cousins from Australia with us so we could both learn a little bit more about Taranaki history.  It is the worlds first purpose built fully integrated museum.  We had a great time, the stereotype of boring museums are now non-existent especially when you throw in a glass bridge and interactive mountain area, it makes it a lot more exciting!

My favourite part was the area named "When will the giant sleeper wake?' This area was about the history of our mountain.  I found it interesting that our mountain, Mt Taranaki was created by an explosion!  A great trip learning about where I live, and the background behind what made my home such a fantastic place to live.
