Trip to Te Rewa Rewa Bridge

On the last morning of our summer holiday at the Fitzroy Campground I got up early, and took the 15 minute walk along the foreshore walkway to Te Rewa Rewa bridge.  I got there just as the sun was coming up, and had the bridge to myself apart from some early morning runners and cyclists.  It was a beautiful morning, and I was fortunate there was no cloud covering Mt Taranaki.

Te Rewa Rewa bridge was opened in 2010, and spans across the Waiwhakaho River.  The internationally awarded bridge can be viewed as either a breaking wave or a whale skeleton.

We then came back later in the morning so my husband and the kids could have a look at the bridge.  On the drive there we stopped for a picture of Mt Taranaki.  This viewpoint was a recommendation from my Brother In Law, after seeing it on one of his morning runs.
