Napier and Taupo
As i was parked next to the road i got up about 7:30/8:00 went for a walk round town and got a starbucks. Waited for the i site to open so i could get my tour map of the citys buildings. 'the worlds best examples of Art Deco buildings in the world. There are about 100 or so examples, some very ornate some not so. The season for all the buildings is there was an earth quake that leveled most of the town then just after i fire started and ravaged what was left. This was in 1931 and by 1933 they had been replaced with modern buildings.Taupo is a big town with a massive lake. The largest in NZ. Watched a float plane come in to land which is quite a sight. They have bungy skydive and jet boating and in the winter the largest ski area in NZ. No pics of Napier on my phone just this one of the plane.
