Yesterday we were in the Spinnaker Lounge to watch us leave port. The sun decided to show itself just as we progressed out of the harbour. We had beautiful hills and cliffs to look at for quite a while.
As a bonus some dolphins swam alongside us for a short while.
A great night of sleep for me but a terrible one for Caro.
Last night we saw a show by the comedian who Carolina had seen a few days ago ( that I missed because I was sick). I thought he was pretty good however Carolina said his first show was better.
At breakfast this morning we were talking to a lady from Florida who was at the casino the other night when there was a medical emergency the night I was sick. She saw the whole incident happening and said the man died ( fell forward flat on his face).
A shuttle bus ride later and we were in Napier (Hawke’s Bay). This town was very badly damaged in a 1931 earthquake and was rebuilt in a popular style of the day, art deco. They have retained many of these buildings and now consider themselves the “art deco” capital of the world. They really make a point of retaining the art deco style and there are many beautifully restored cars of the period and the owners ( I assume) are dressed in period clothing which make for wonderful photos.
We saw the film crew again and I imagine a lot of this town will make it into their show.
Caro managed to find many exciting souvenir stores and she “may” have completed her purchases (time will tell LOL)
We both thought this was a lovely town and we really enjoyed walking around and before leaving we enjoyed a glass of local wine.
