That's incredible, actually. NYC to London was a smidge over 6 hours, which means you screamed across the continent in 3.5 hours!
Anyway... just as I suspected, there isn't an empty bed to be found anywhere even remotely close to New Plymouth. However, I did find a chalet that is literally located at the base of a semi-active volcano. It's only about 18 miles away as the crow flies, but you literally have to drive around the volcano to get to the only access road from the south- a two hour ordeal. I'm sure it would be quite lovely during the day... but I can only imagine trying to navigate around there in the pitch black of night. For some reason sleeping in the car at the Brooklands park is sounding more and more appealing right now. I can always bathe in the eel-infested moat.
