Chillin' in Hawke's Bay

Chillin' in Hawke's Bay and sressin' on the coast highway... Everyone needs to take a break, even when they're travelling, and find a sanctuary for some solitude and sense of space. It was a 'no brainer' to choose Victoria's sister city, Napier, renown for its Art Deco architecture, as the...

The World's Most Boring Blog Post

Quite fitting for a post about a town who's only claim to fame is that it got flattened by an earthquake in the early 30's and rebuilt itself according to the hideous art deco style of the time. Famous for being ugly. Now there's a tourist attraction a few people I know could exploit.

Ghost town

Had a fairly long drive up the east coast yesterday to Napier, a city that was flattened by an earthquake in 1931, and has subsequently reinvented itself as "the world's leading art deco city" as a result of the rebuilding style. I don't know whether they're expecting another earthquake...

Art Deco City

"Something different" was our plan, so after Wellington we decided that we would take a break from scenery and lakes, and city living and hikes etc... and headed out to a small town called Napier. Napier is set on the East Coast of the North Island, and is a remarkable place in its own right....

Once upon a time in Hobbiton.....

Once upon a time on a cold and rainy day three young hobbits decided to visit some old friends. So Tayling Tubbleweed, Ezzabel Buttercup and Murphington Meadowflower skipped along a lane, round some corners and over a bridge. One they got to the shire, they found that it was a beautiful day....

Pardon you!

One thing you cannot fail to notice about Rotorua, is it's eggy aroma. The stench hits you the minute you arrive. This isn't because it's inhabitants eat too many baked beans, it is due to the fact that it is built on one of the world's most geothermally active areas. A walking tour lead us...
