Centre of town!
Just because I liked the red!
Whangamomona is a small town on the Forgotten World Highway in New Zealand...as the name suggests, the highway - in the north island - is not visited very often, which is part of it's charm. I rode it on a Royal Enfield motorcycle. More photos and info here https://tinyurl.com/yc7wp7hv #NewZealand #ForgottenWorldHighway #RoyalEnfield #Taranaki
Whangamomona Hotel. The town declared itself a republic in 1989. We were able to get our passports stamped here (for a small donation).
