The weather is so nice that we would like to sit at the beach and just relax, but then we decide to drive to Napier. So, what is an Art Deco town? As we don't know anything we want to find something out.
Napier was destroyed by an earthquake in the 1930ies. Nevertheless the inhabitants decided to build a new city and they only used Art Deco style for the new houses. Interestingly there are a lot other features today which enhance the impressions of the 1920ies style, like fashion stores, fountains or statues. There are festivals when all the people dress up and have picnics outside. When we were there a hot rod old timer show took place.
