We decided to follow the good weather this weekend and drove to the other side of the island. Napier was destroyed by an earthquake in 1931 and is now known for its art deco architecture since many buildings were rebuilt in this style. The city is pretty, but the coast is even better. It’s on Hawke’s Bay, next to New Zealand’s “fruit basket” and vineyard areas, with mountains in the distance.
We went to the farmers’ market, visited playgrounds on the beach and went to a vineyard where Brad tasted the wine while
I chased the kids around the grape vines.
