NAPIER, New Zealand

Napier calls itself the Art Deco capital of the world.    Leveled by an earthquake in 1931, it was rebuilt in the Art Deco style.

This community has a wide area between the ocean and the shops where they greet passengers from the cruise ships.    Vintage cars and period dress.      Everyone was so very friendly.

We chose to just walk around rather than taking an excursion here.    

Their street art was very intriguing.

Smart phone and Hair Straightener Repair Centre.      

What an interesting combination.

Ethan, this store made us think of you!

This sign was on the outer wall of the Visitor Center welcoming us to the island in the native greeting and then several other languages.

I like this sign because there is a New Zealand wine called Kia Ora which I happen to like a lot.    I never knew the meaning of the brand until this visit.
