Bill has now got a job with a local packaging company so I donned my chauffeur's cap to take Bill to work as well as taking the children to school and collecting them. In between, we went to Napier on Wednesday and Friday. Napier was destroyed in an earthquake in 1931 and was rebuilt in Art Decco style and has recently become a tourist destination. The Hawkes Bay area on the east coast of North Island enjoys a mediterranean climate and is a fruit,veg and wine growing area. It reminds us of the area near Nimes in South West France.
On Thursday we went to Cape Kidnappers to investigate a trip to the world famous gannet colony but because the tide was coming in we had to walk along the shingle having enjoyed coffee with a young Dutch couple on a round world trip. Later we visited the British Car Museum, which is a large collection of British cars in need of restoration but neatly stacked. It boasts of 36 Morris Minors, but why?
