February 21 Napier

 A quiet morning,  then into town  for the vintage car parade. Maybe 100 cars dating back over 100 years.  In the afternoon we boasts a couple of wineries,  one of which was closed for a special event, no doubt connected with the festival.  The other was Mission Estate, the first winery in NZ, started by Marian monks in 1851.

The navy were instrumental in rescue efforts following the 1931 earthquake as one of their ships was anchored in the Port.
