Well after a day at sea yesterday, we docked early in Napier. Although very hot, 31*c, it was a very enjoyable morning. After an earthquake in the 30’s the whole town was rebuilt in the Artdeco style. Numerous shops sell flapper dresses and jewellery, whilst classic cars cruise the street, either for hire or self drive. We resisted the temptation, but found a pilots shop who sold me a pair of aviator goggles, perfect for Morgan’s !

Hazel did well with a necklace from the USA, and we enjoyed the museum and Art Deco shop. It was certainly my kind of a town. We also got a data card for the iPad, hence the mad rush to blog whilst leaving port…..
