napier

staying in napier prison backpackers, in Napier.

alas, my mother misunderstood my text to mean that I was in HM Prison Napier, and thus expected a payout on the 'where will Ben be first arrested?' sweepstakes.

fun little hostel, if a little over the top sometimes with their prison theming (like going to a pirate restaurant and being told "ARRRRR!" all the time by the waiting staff)

I was going to look at some dolphins today, but they are busy until next Monday. Nevermind - apparently there are some more near Auckland.

I might also go for a bit of wine tasting - that was jolly good fun when I last did it in Napa Valley, and also the time before in the Yarra Valley.
