The Seege in Nelson!

Thursday 8th May 2009

The trip down to Napier I am sure is nice but with all the rain I could see next to nothing. As for Napier well its probably one of the nicest towns I've been in in New Zealand so far. The town itself is pretty cool with all its art deco features but around the outskirts there are no end of winery's and orchards which look fantastic. On the morning that I am leaving there seems to be no end of police cars around the city centre and as I drive to Wellington more & more police cars seem to be making their way there. Its only later listening to the radio that I find out what has been going on. Two police officers went to do a drugs search and one of the guys in the house opened fire and killed one of the police officers. There ended up been a seege for over 50hrs, it was all over the news for the next few days, mad stuff.
