Napier (Day 70 | 2014-11-05)

Our ship is made a short stop at Napier today. We didn’t have any plans for the day, so we took our time and disembarked the ship around 10am, 3 hours after arrival. We took the compulsory shuttle into town to the drop off point near the national aquarium. After a little research, we decided to skip the aquarium and walk along the Marine Parade toward Tennyson St (main pedestrian walkway). Since we didn’t have any plans for tomorrow either, we stopped at i-Site (government sponsored tourist information) and signed up for a tour tomorrow in Tauranga. Along Tennyson St, we stopped at a bakery (which claims to be the best in New Zealand) and ate a mince pie and chocolate pecan tart. Both were tasty, but probably not the best in New Zealand. On the advice of the shuttle driver, we walked up to a bluff near town, but failed to find the advertised lookout.
