NAPIER

Napier city is located in the Hawke's Bay region of New Zealand, around 6 hours driving time south from Auckland. Perched on the edge of the Pacific Ocean, this elegant city is a memorial to a 1931 earthquake and fire that destroyed most buildings and killed many people. Napier is known as the Art Deco Capital of the world. It is enhanced by palms and the angular Norfolk Island pines and bounded by fertile fruit and grape growing plains, dramatic hills and the shores of the South Pacific. In Napier, you can enjoy the legacy of its brave rebuilding and savour the spirit of the optimistic Art Deco era. Nowhere else can you see such a variety of buildings in the styles of the 1930s.

TENBY

 Pembrokeshire Coast National Park - the only British national park focused almost exclusively on the coast lies in the far-flung south-west corner of Wales. The impressive cliffs alternate with secluded coves and big sandy beaches, good for swimming, though the waters are chilly. The park has a smattering of historic sites, including the impossibly picturesque St David’s Cathedral, built in a Viking-proof nook by the Irish Sea.

Tenby, with four sandy beaches, is the the most popular resort in the region, a combination of narrow, cobbled streets within the walls  of its old town and of pastel-shaded Regency and  Georgian houses overlooking the harbor. Medieval Tenby’s ancient town walls still stand, enclosing streets and passageways full of shops, inns, and places to eat. A Tudor scientist named Robert Recorde, who invented the "equals" (=) sign, was born here.

From the harbor you can take a short boat trip to Caldey Island, with its active Cistercian community.
