last night we went to the world famous napier solstice fire festival on the green near our hostel. much fun, involving such delights such as a opera singing comedian who presented the show, a fire pod from a hot air balloon, flaming poys(fire chians wirled about the head.) a rather jolly rock band called double scotch who had the novel idea of encorperating bagpipes into a rock band. music was a bit crap but it was fun seeing them prancing about in there kilts and playing on a set of electric bagpipes of all bizzare things. the was also some cook island drummers, and some hot salsa dancing which i think mama would have enjoyed, many prancing and chest jutting blokes with oiled hair frolicking with dusky snake impresionists. then there fire works, quite impressive really, and a massive bonfire which we sat around until late. good stuff.
