New Zealand – Art deco in Napier

From Taupo we drove down south 150km(!!) to Napier and walked through the city which is known as one of the world’s best Art Deco Cities. Actually most of the buildings in Napier date from the 30s (because nearly the whole city was destroyed in 1931 by earthquake&fire) and the 1930s are famous for this Art Deco architectural style. Hmm, it was nothing really special – actually kind of boring.

But this 150km journey wasn’t senseless, because Heiko figured out that he was not able to jump accross a 6 metre wastage-water river. that was fun – except for heiko ;-)
