Today we went for a walk in the local nature reserve/Maori site, Otatara Park. There was a Maori settlement there and the site sets out to show how a large 'village' was set up and established. The walk is meant to be a circular tramp from the car park, through the site and back again. Sadly, there is a bit of an issue with signage and having thought we were on the route, we found ourselves with a disappearing path. With overnight rain and long grass, this led to wet shoes and trouser bottoms. Town shoes also proved a disadvantage for Ingrid as she slipped on the wet stuff and added to her dampness! We decided that a return to Liz's was necessary for a change.
We then went into Napier and did a self guided walk around the city to look at the many art deco buildings. We managed to get into the theatre and have a look at that (we were looking at the foyer when we were invited to have a shufti by someone working there) - they have retained much of the art deco interior in spite of extensions over time.
As we had offered to cook for the workers today, we were then off to the supermarket and the kitchen. Cooking was punctuated by a quick trip to Kristi and Ross' to say hello.
