Party till you drop! Literally.

Urgh.... urrgggghhhhh.

Last night a group of us went out into Napier to find the hip, happening, party scene of this Art Deco town. Since we couldn't find it (because it doesn't exist), we went to the Irish pub instead and played drinking games. I joined in with diet coke and later even expanded with one cocktail. Following the imbibing of courage by all, we braved the local latino tunes bar (which was empty) and proceeded to spend quality time until 4am dancing to all manner of tunes... except Latin music?! (Picture: Bianca, Kelly, me!)

This morning, the rest had to leave early on the 9am bus back to Taupo. I had elected to stay on for 2 days to explore Napier(and do laundry). Bianca (also Dutch) stayed on in Napier too - so we decided to do some sightseeing. The combination of high heels, late night and bruising my ankle "forced" me to find another mode of transport than the usual bicycle. Enter new thing for today: the Scooter! It was meant to be: Hot Pink, retro, enough space for 2!

We toured Napier, saw lots of art Deco buildings, beachfront promenade, blue skies and red skin. It reminds me a bit of Miami South Beach! We got lost, saw a lot of farmland, visited the Chocolate factory (horrible chocolate though!), picknicked in a park and just had a great time.

This is what holiday is all about. I love scooters.
