Pig out point


There is an oceanside parking lot in New Plymouth called 'Pig out point' (well, by the locals, anyway) that is, of course, a convenient place to eat your fast food after you've gone through the drive-thru window. 

The gulls are very aware of this place and perch expectantly on the hood bonnet of your car. They have no shame.




We got a spectacular view of the windsurfers as we dined al fresco.

  10. Those pesky gulls are a bit cheeky, makes a great photo though, and the wind surfers would be nice to watch while you eat on such a lovely day.
