Okay, okay, “glamping” isn’t the same as “camping” and we are only on the edge of the cyclone … but you get my point. We’ve been sitting in the covered space outside the tent all afternoon, reading and enjoying the sound of the rain on the canvas. We have a lovely view out over the river valley, although with the rain we have a very hazy view. But still lovely.

This morning we stopped in Napier to buy nice warm merino wool sweaters and enjoy the art deco buildings lining the street.

I have limited coverage here (it is a cyclone, after all…) so I’ll leave it at this and perhaps post more photos later.
