Day 145 Taupo-Napier, New Zealand

Time to leave Taupo and to be honest it felt like we had probably spent 2 days to long here although the worst thing was we were now heading to Napier which I had no plans for at all. Once we arrived at the hostel I got the impression from the outside of it that it was probably the worst one we had found so far in New Zealand. The outside seemed very old and dirty and the inside wasn’t any better with the kitchen area being the worst (very very small and very unclean). A lot of people here just tend to come here for work like fruit picking and nearly everyone seems very cliquey and if you don’t actually live and work here then you don’t really seem to fit in.
As for Napier itself its not the worst place ive come to but its not a place I would probably visit again. A lot of the buildings are decorated in Art Deco and it has abit of a Texas feel to it. There isn’t really a beach here as well as most of it is covered in stones and rocks but having said that it was still nice to just walk along the sea front while I was here.
