On the next day I visited "Te Papa", the National Museum of NZ. They are showing their history there (Maori and Europeans) and also some arts and educational stuff about the elements fire (vulcanos), water (sea) and earth (earthquakes).
On the roof they have an installation of an socalled Overseas Experience. This should symbol their lust of camping and tramping. And they show a good taste because they are using a german car for that.
At the quai next to the marina I saw a seal and also an octupus, funny, i never expected this here.
I stayed the night in Okita, nothing special about this city. On the next day I drove to Napier, an Art-Deco town. The city was totally destroyed in 1931 and rebuild in the Art-Deco style.
The drive was not so interesting, here are living much more people and the landscape is not so nice compared to the southern island. But to be fair its really hard to beat the Fjordlands or the West Coast.
