We rose fairly late from the crisp white sheets of our king size bed and had a leisurely breakfast, knowing that the highlights of Palmerston North would not take a great deal of time to reveal themselves to us. K had found a brochure for a sculpture trail through the town, and that would form the basis for our wanderings.
The motel is less than 10 minutes walk from the town's Central Square, with it's War Memorial. The day was turning out to be very warm indeed. We found the sculptures, one by one, then had time to have lunch at Cafe Cuba and visit the museum and art gallery. It was still only three thirty. This is a very clean and arts aware place. The ''Cafe Culture' was much in evidence. Enjoyable to walk around. The attendant at the museum was a joy, and very informative.
We decided that we would eat in this evening, as we ate out last night - so we did some shopping on the way back to the motel. Now I am sitting on a bench in the sun at 6.30pm writing this!
