Napier

Well another day another beautiful sunrise and another port to explore. Today it is Napier. A nice bit of town with a decidely Art Deco feel (the old towh was destroyed in an earthquake and fire ala San Fran. We had a nice walk into town, did a bit of browsing, then walked over the hill to the original town area. Here they are starting to take some of the old warehouses and do adaptive reuse with bars, restaurants, gyms, offices, etc. We found a nice place for a beer and watched the harbor a bit. Then a ways on found a 'fush and chups' (that's fish and chips in 'english') and got some takeaway for a picnic on the beachfront. It's a beautiful day so we headed back to the ship for some sunning. Tonight there is a comedian (very funny) and another beautiful meal. And soon after, as the sea has some rocking to it, we are swayed to sleep.
