Shilli-Fully Travels

Napier was rebuilt following a destructive earthquake in 1931; hence its reputation as an Art Deco capital. Our two days there coincided with the annual Art Deco festival, drawing crowds of locals and tourists dressed in period costume and a large number of vintage cars. Our packing had not stretched to 1930s attire, so we felt a little underdressed. We also enjoyed good Hawke’s Bay wines and delicious food at the lodge we stayed in just outside Napier.ŵ
