Art deco

No we haven't nipped back to Miami. We went to Napier which was completely destroyed in an earthquake in 1931 and then rebuilt in art deco style. Unlike Miami which was all big tall art deco buildings these were all only 1 or 2 stories high.

After short walking tour which followed some numbered information boards and was made a bit longer by missing out board 4 and having to go back and find it we set off.

Long driving day today straight down SH2 to Wellington. Tried desperately to find something to stop and do on the way down but apart from a car park for lunch with a musical toilet and an ice cream shop there wasnt really much.

So we just drove along a lovely flat valley up some large wiggy hills, into the rain/cloud, down some large wiggly hills, out of the rain/cloud and in to Wellington where we missed exit for campsite so had to resort to gps. Found campsite. Planned tomorrow - all day Te Papa museum!

Oh and lunch - found hummus in supermarket, had to have it - Martyns sister made it 8)
