We got onto the boat and got right into bed in our cabin, planning to get to sleep as quick as possible.
Some of us slept well but Curtis only got about 30 minutes!
We were woken at 05:30 and had to grt up and ready to leave the ferry.
We got into the car and down the ramp into Wellington fairly quickly. Curtis wanted to take everyone to a cafe he went to in Wellington whilst there for work as they had humongous coffees and excellent food.
We arrived at the cafe and it looked a bit different, so it was already odd! We got XXL coffees, which are rightfully huge, and then looked at the menu, which was again different.
The XXL coffee (with a pepper shaker for size comparison)
We got some fairly adequate food from here and ate it, but it was no where near as good as Curtis remembered and had clearly been taken over by new owners.
We left here and got on the road towards Napier, where we are spending one night.
Once we eventually got to the AirBnB, noone was home and we couldn’t get hold of them, so we had to go out.
We went down to the beach where Kim had a swim in the very cold see and we took in the incredibly hot 35° sun.
We went back to the house and our host was in, so we met him and got aquainted with the house.
Curtis fell asleep for an hour or so, and so did Tom.
Kim and Tom went to the shop to get a little bit of food for dinner and then we sat out on the balcony looking at the tremendous views.
We plan to sleep early as noone really slept too much last night.
Poroporoaki!
