Napier Port and Bluff Hill Domain

After the visit to the aquarium the weather seemed a little better and so we headed for Bluff Hill, which overlooks Napier and the port. At one time,  before the quake of 1931, this had been a virtual islet at the end of an isthmus.  Then the quake caused the ground to rise by four metres,  and the sea receded.  The land was reclaimed,  and now it sits at the edge of the main part of Napier. There were some great views from the top.
