Really wanted to do the Tongariro crossing, but we have to wait until it comes into condition so a trip over to the east coast saw us in Napier, famous for its Art Deco revival after an earthquake and fire in 1931 raised it to the ground.

the most concentrated collection of such buildings in the world.

The weather was a bit 'iffy'(grey sky and windy) so we moved on to a wine tour the following day which Paul loved(although they didn't give big enough samples!!).
