Napier











Napier was an art deco city that was destroyed by an earth quake back in the 1930's; re-built it retains that feel of those by gone years and is an interesting place to visit. Arlene V particularly wanted to see the city and has embarked on a tour, with Paul, around it's buildings.






We had a short ride of 200km and got here by about 2pm so we have had a relaxing time today. Although the ride here was fantastic. Another gorge and mountain range to get across with heaps more bends but smoother turns made for a fast ride, it was awesome today. It rained on us good and proper too, the last hour we endured a soaking and I found out how crap my waterproofs are. Just been to buy some new ones. Big Bruv... if your reading this it's such a shame your not here, you would be loving the riding, probably the best riding roads I have ever experienced. Off to Wellington tomorrow.
