Ellen - Day 9 - Napier to Wellington

We spent the day exploring the art deco of Napier. The walking guided tour was well worth it. We had a bit of time to kill before departing for Wellington and took a tour of the sunken garden and the National Aquarium. We might have enjoyed the aquarium more if it hadn't been packed full of screaming kids.

We took the back roads to Wellington which serendipitously took us past the place with the longest name in the world (see photos). Arriving in Wellington at dusk, we strolled up Cuba street and had a pub dinner. With several hours to kill before boarding our 2AM ferry, we popped round to visit our dear friends Tony and Charlene Hillyard for a chat, and a jam in the kitchen on Tony's wonderful guitars.
