Napier and surroundings New Zealand

Concept, photos, videos, examples, construction



First we visit the winery The Mission than you will see pictures of Napier. Napier (called Ahuriri in the Māori language) is a New Zealand city with a seaport, located in Hawke's Bay on the eastern coast of the North Island. The population of Napier is about 58,600. It is a popular tourist city, with a unique concentration of 1930s Art Deco architecture. Although a few Art Deco buildings were replaced with contemporary structures during the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, most of the centre remained intact for long enough to become recognized as architecturally important, and beginning in the 1990s it had been protected and restored. Napier and the area of South Beach, Miami, Florida, are considered to be the two best-preserved Art Deco towns. Napier also has a National Aquarium with a living Kiwi (the bird). It is difficult to take a picture of this animal because it is active in the night and has that enviroment in the aquarium. One of my travelfellows was successfull without flashlight.
