I always love going there in the summer because the weather is nice and hot...8-)<br /><br />And the wine, dahling, eh Flying Kiwi?!?! (oh bugger, you're preggers, damn...). Nevertheless there are heaps of great foodie places to go to - I recall an excellent Indonesian restaurant along the main drag (sorry can't remember the name). And Sileni Estates has an absolutely stunning cafe/deli you just have to try.<br /><br />If you want accom, let me know - the boy is helping friends to set up their new motel in Taradale (no idea what the rates are).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-1109306130070904402005-02-25T17:35:00.000+13:002005-02-25T17:35:00.000+13:00Well it sounds like we've made a good choice in ou...Well it sounds like we've made a good choice in our holiday destination (Saving New Plymouth for another time, when there's more to see than the art gallery and the park).<br /><br />For Jon's benefit, I'll edit this post to include a couple of links.Violethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10547452802344363142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-1109288213086410312005-02-25T12:36:00.000+13:002005-02-25T12:36:00.000+13:00I love Napier, lived there as a kid and I still ha...I love Napier, lived there as a kid and I still haven't been back yet, very sad, will remedy this soon.

There's actually nice hotpools in Napier now too - not that that's any good for you. There's the beach, and there are a couple of decent restaurants. And there's marineland, kiwi house and splash planet - maybe you should go back in a couple of years with the little one.flying kiwihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15612443077127662318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-1109233161336851962005-02-24T21:19:00.000+13:002005-02-24T21:19:00.000+13:00I haven't travelled much since I've been here due ...I haven't travelled much since I've been here due to having babies and such. Napier is one place I HAVE been due to it being 2 hours from where my in-laws live. <br />I LOVED it but DH and I are big Art Deco fans so that's no surprise (Hence the art on my blog banner being of that era). Our house here in CHCH is an old Art Deco style too.Frallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17675354826656796981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085694.post-1109225003986174052005-02-24T19:03:00.000+13:002005-02-24T19:03:00.000+13:00I have no idea of the geography of New Zealand.

I know about which island is which, but my limited 'experience' comes from the films 'Once were Warriors' (which was very powerful) and 'Heavenly Creatures'. In a nut shell, I have no suggestions as to where to vacationJonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11250936677072664743noreply@blogger.com
