Napier the Art Deco Capital - Febuary 2011

So another holiday. We are really getting tired of this and need to work more. As Napier was really booked up we had to book a camp site. So we went camping. Er, no. We took the tent but Linda thought an upgrade to a cabin that someone else has cancelled was better as it had an en-suite. Yeah right. So tent in boot of car we go cabin'ing in Napier. You can see them in the background of the first photo. We liked Napier a lot, in fact we may well move there in the future. We are warned that there are no jobs, so Steve wants to move there sooner. Napier was devastated 80 years ago by an earthquake and so it was all rebuilt at the same time making it art deco capital of the world. Now art deco is in fact similar to old persons smelly clothing but it is actually very pleasant. Napier I mean, not old person smelly clothing. They have recently developed an old dock into restaurants and it is actually quite trendy. Steve wants to give up work and move. Oh, and did I say it has vineyards. Now finally we moved into a beech front bach which was cool = last 2 photies. We will do this again !!
