We recently took a trip up the East Coast to a town called Napier. The town was completely destroyed in an earthquake in 1930 and so they had to rebuild it quickly. Because the trend at the time, all the architecture is art-deco = lots of pastel colour, sun-bursts, and go-faster stripes!
Although it was quite cold, we headed to the beach. The beaches on the East Coast are beautiful - miles and miles of yellow sand, very wild looking becuase there is not much civilisation. ALso wild because it faces the Southern Ocean so the winds get quite fierce and its sometimes dangerous to go swimming. So I headed down the beach with my full artic gear on!
You can see photos but you have to sign up to Bebo (dont worry Bebo is not a dodgey web page, its a really useful way of keeping in touch with folk! I have lots of Bebo friends!)

Wow that sounds ace - I've seen pictures of Napier and it looks lovely.
Sorry I can't check your Bebo photos as I don't have an account. You should get Flickr, it's much better!
... we now have Flickr so you can see a wee bit of napier!
