We went to the 10am service at Napier Cathedral and discovered it was the actual anniversary of the earthquake.
Afterwards we drove to Taupo in the centre of the North Island. Although it is not by the sea, Taupo is on the shores of a big lake (named Lake Taupo) so boats still play a big part in the local's lives. In fact the lake is so big (it is New Zealand's largest), even seaplanes can land on it!
The drive took just over a couple of hours and our Swiss-style chalet had wonderful views of the water. It was on two levels with the lounge upstairs so we could make the most of them.
