| In the winter of 2010 there were many landslips. A house that use to be just the other side of the fence had to be evacuated (as did many others in Napier). The house has since been removed. When I was on my walk taking these photos I noticed that the council? has planted a garden in here :) |

| the orange roofed building in the centre of the photo is The Royale Tavern. Thought to be at least 150 years old and was moved here during the 19th century from Ahuriri due to repeatedly getting flooded. |
Quite grand views, and I'm struck by how dramatic those skies are.
