Tuesday morning we headed south. We were heading to the coastal town of Napier via what is supposed to be a lovely lake called Lake Taupo. We decided we could take a slightly longer, more scenic route but unfortunately, the skies clouded over and the mists came and by the time we got to the lake, it was raining a fair bit.
After eating lunch at the lake, we carried on to Napier, which is a lovely Art Deco town, but the weather wasn’t conducive to sight seeing. We checked in to our hotel and picked up some more groceries.
We’re thankful for our location this week. There is a cyclone off the coast of north New Zealand that is forecast to arrive in some of the areas we’ve been travelling in.
Tomorrow we continue south to Wellington and see more of the Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit displays.
