Yesterday we visited the city of Napier. the city of the world with the most Art Deco buildings. After the earthquake in 1931, the city was rebuilt using the Art Deco style that was the current architectural fad. We had a pleasant visit, including the waterfront, city parks and even a few shops!
We travelled overnight to Wellington, docking as we ate our rather substantial breakfast. It is only 2 years since we spent a few days in Wellington so we did not need to rush to visit everything.
So far we have visited the Parliament and joined a tour which was most informative. We also visited the Anglican Cathedral and took lots of photos. We walked to the cable car which took us up to the Botanical Gardens. It was so windy, we nearly blew off the top. We followed one of the self guided walks and visited lots of the historic observatories.
We sail in the early hours of tomorrow morning for the South Island and dock at Picton.
Yes we are eating lots but also doing lots of laps around the deck and have visited the gym.

You visited the gym?
What, are there no games of shuffle board or bingo available?
Sounds like fun anyway!

Yes there is shuffle board - if I knew how to play. Bingo is on at this moment and I think Auntie Helen is there but we are the fitness freaks.
Don't you know "bad things happen indoors?"
Napier I'd love to see, all the art deco buildings fascinate me.
