Sunday 25/1/14Left Whakatane and headed for Napier.Stopped at wai-o-tapu to visit some thermal springs. It was amazing although very hot and smelly, for something so completely natural it looks anything but natural. Arrived at Napier and checked into our Art Deco hotel, very small room and a disappointing view of a roof, but the hotel was full so no chance of a move. The town looks interesting and there are self guided walking tours using a booklet so that's tomorrow sorted. Had a meal and drink in the Rose Irish bar attached to the hotel, normal pub grub but after the spices of the Indian in Whakatane it's all our stomachs would stand!
