Napier, December 27-29






"I ran aground in a harbour town,
and lost the taste for being free,
Thank God he sent some gull-chased ship,
to carry me to sea..."

-Bruce Cockburn




The festivities continue. More eating and socialising with outgoing/laid-back Kiwis. I may be recovering from the food-poisoning weight loss in Thailand. Spent a lovely day out on the boat with the relies (yes, that's me in a full wet suit -I am now confident that I can scuba in West Coast waters. This water was freezing cold buy I was toasty). The guys got lobster and sea urchin (the former tasty, the latter, not so). Then we fished, catching a dog fish and an eel -not eating fare.





Today was wine tasting day, and I picked up some nice locals for Kevin and Paula to enjoy (I can only carry 2 max). The highlight of the day was a lovely Malbec that they said tasted of "toasted Christmas cake"! It did.
