Napier Travel Diary: Sunsets, Sea Breezes & Secret Paths

We found the only sunny loophole in the North Island’s Easter downpour! 🌄 Te Mata Peak 📍 20 mins from Hastings Drive-up sunset spot (finally checked off my list!). Clouds parted dramatically—golden hour looked painted. ⚠️ Tip: Parking chaos at dusk—hike 30 mins up for serene views. 🌆 Bluff Hill Lookout Iconic city-frame chair (left-side trail = prime photo op!). Note: Napier’s steep, narrow roads demand careful driving. 🌊 Marine Parade Glass viewing platform + wild waves (apocalyptic vibes!). Bonus: Sunny vs. stormy comparison pics—which mood do you prefer? 💦 Centennial Garden "2-min waterfall" (walk longer? Wrong park! 😂). "Rat-person trail": We ill-advisedly scaled pipes/45° slopes to: Startle tourists from above. Trespass into a mansion’s view (oops). Earn coastal panoramas (worth it?). 🐕 Hawke’s Bay Farmers’ Market Puppies + sourdough + grafted grapes (juicy!). Vibe: Cozy chaos. 🏡 Airbnb Hack Hasting’s edge: 20 mins to Napier/Hawke’s Bay—perfect hub! 📸 #NapierDiaries #NZRoadTrip #SunsetChaser #SecretTrails #TravelBlunders
