Decidedly windy today with the odd shower but still muggy. Macs on and we descended down the hill into Napier by which time we were too hot so after a quick wander coffee loomed. Same lovely cafe as last year, very good. Decided to abandon central Napier as unfortunately a large cruise ship was in port. 
We headed off along the coast to Cape Kidnappers but already knew the tides were wrong for us to attempt a walk to the gannet colony so we walked along the shingle avoiding the waves for half an hour . 
Last stop Bluff Hill Lookout overlooking Napier Port which is a very busy container port. Even windier on the Bluff and as it started raining we made tracks home for the evening and a few beers.
