Karen managed to sort out the ferry and car hire this morning. We're now going on the 8:25am ferry, after giving back the hire car, so we need to get up at the crack of dawn - but we get to the B&B at a sensible time and will have more time to look around.
After that we went on a guided tour of Napier's Art Deco architecture. Napier was hit by a strong earthquake in 1931 and was largely destroyed. So most of the centre was rebuilt in the Art Deco style over the next few years, and has remained largely unchanged since then. As such it is a very attractive city, helped today by glorious sunshine.
We're now waiting to be picked up for our wine and food trip - more about that next time. And tomorrow we drive down to Wellington - our final stop in the North Island.
