Napier East Coast

Napier caught me off guard with its beautiful beach and long promenade. I could not resist to go for a little run. It was super windy though.

The town are filled with cool art deco stuff even along the beach. We explored and enjoyed the beautiful views of bluff hill.

On our way to Taupo I spotted the local Saturday market & we got fresh cherries, tangerines and asparagus. I am obsessed with the asparagus here ooh sooo crunchy I got a massive bunch for $5. The fresh produce is world class. I can embrace the down to earth lifestyle here. People value the right things, authentic living is not clouded by big fancy cars and material things. They live more because they own less, being outdoors is a priority and a lifestyle.

The other fabulous thing is how green conscious New Zealanders are. They protect & treasure their natural heritage something the rest of the world can learn from. ( the only other country that impressed me was Canada) . Recycling is the rule and not the exception, a change and habit I want to implement once we are settled again.
