Napier is a small city of about 55000 to 58000 population. Its is called fruit fall of New Zealand because lots and lots of fruits belong to this region like Apple, Pear, Apricot, Plum, Cherries, various berries.
It is home to so many classical wine from New Zealand. It has fantastic bay, lots and lots of hiking point and beautiful countryside of new zealand where i am staying with my host Marian working at tourist department and enjoying cooking together.
Its a long wekend in New Zealand and Monday is going to be holiday and enjoying Napier here.
It has a port. They exports lot of woods basically made of pine trees as old as 20-25 year old, big big log they export mostly to China.
Also they have a port, Cruze Ship comes there and that is a big income for town because they visit restaurants and shopping place etc etc.
I had a host here 49 year young lady name Marian, awesome person and she cycles 11km everyday for the work. In 1985, 1991, 2015 she has travelled to India. Also she has travelled to 40+ countries, extremely fit. She has a beautiful house, one of the loviest home you can see in New Zealand.
We had a almost like 5 meal at her place. First night she cooked Thai Curry and rice dinner for me. For two days i cooked various types of parathas like aaloo paratha, onion paratha, radish paratha and also paneer paratha. Also made egg curry. We would have a long dinner in lawn in her backyard, sit and have long conversation.
I was living like a local person.We went to ocean beach closeby.I had never been to deep sea and really thankful to Marian for inspiring me to go deeper into the sea swimming. This was a breakthrough in my life. Also learned little bit of what surfing is about and i had my own surfboard.
On the way back home we went to waterfall and it is made in such a way you can jump off the waterfall and pool below and swim there. That was one day.
Other day we went for cycle, we cycled 52 km virtually cycle gave us an averge of 20km of speed. Fantastic experience. We stopped in between at wineyard, sheepfarm, cow dairy farm and orchards.
That is how i spend my days in Napier. and i was ready really go to Taupo and Rotorua tourist place in New Zealand, Before i go to South Island.
