Yay a new place.....Napier!

It would seem that each time we leave Taupo we have a minor 'setback', last time it was the speeding ticket, and this time, Rich had left the lights on on the van, result.....flat battery, again!! We were saved by a couple of Northern lads that Rich collared to push it though!

Napier is a very pretty city....all Art Deco as there was an earthquake in 1931 and everywhere had to be rebuilt and Art Deco was all the rage then! We stayed there for 3 nights. Rich was in his element as we did an 'Art Deco tour of the city', he turned into a Japanese tourist taking about a million pictures of all the buildings, until the camera battery went flat (hee hee!)

Also in Napier we played crazy golf (which Rich won), visited the New Zealand aquarium and saw various NZ marine life, crocodile, sharks, turtles and things, and spent an afternoon chilling out at a spa, swimming, lounging around in hot tubs and steam rooms and stuff.....oh it's a hard life! Rich also made us walk round the city again taking pictures of the buildings he missed out on the other day!
