We left Paul, our host at the Te Kura in Gisborne and drove the 4 hours to Napier. Not a particularly interesting route on state highway 2, not much going on at all and only one petrol station on the 220km journey. It even tried to rain for goodness sake!

Tonight we are hosted by a charming Dutch couple in their house overlooking the bay.Andrew is still drinking wine with them on the deck whilst I am in my comfy room with a glass of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc that I bought from PanSave for 10$. i also bought a hot sausage roll which was the gourmet dinner tonight!

We walked the ins and outs of Napier, picking up an Elvis style concert in the public gardens along with a display of vintage American cars. The kiwis are really into their vintage cars and getting dressed up in costumes d'epoque to drive them in.

We later drove up to Mount Te Mata to see the sunset and got some good photos.
