Napier and Mission Wine


After a rainy crossing from Taupo, we arrived in Napier on the east cost. A very nice town with art Deco store fronts. We walked along the shore and found a nice motel near the waterfront which faces the Tasman Sea.








The next day we headed out of town and found the Mission Winery for tasting. Some nice wines and then headed south and looked up a Honey producer. A very interesting display on bees and about 10 different kinds of honey as well as many health and cosmetic products made with honey!








Then, a long and winding drive out to Palmerston, a university town a days drive from Wellington.

We drove up over a huge escarpment which separates east from west at the south end of the North island. Many wind generators operate on this area to add power to the grid.
