16/2 Napier (Art Deco festival)

Napier 176° 55' E, 39° 28' S



Instead of Napier, we are staying in Hastings. There is an Art Deco festival here, so all the hotels were booked. But the bus brought us for one day in Napier. It's a nice city with all Art Deco buildings and because of the festival people are dressed like in the 20's. We feel a bit out of fashion here, although I can look like a sailor in my white-blue striped shirt. There were a lot of old cars in the streets, so I was wondering how many of these cars of the 20's, 30's were left from that time, that still drive. People were really friendly and cheerful.

In the morning I have done my laundry and had a swim. I hope all motels/hotels will have a swimming pool, such a nice start of the morning.
