Napier The Art Deco Capital of the World with Bertie Wooster
In 1931 a devastating 7.5 earthquake wiped out the town of Napier – just north of Wellington. It was rebuilt in glorious Art Deco style. The whole town is like something on a film lot – all is preserved. I took tons of photos.
Napier is now capitalizing on its elegant unique look. Tour guides are dressed in 1930's outfits. Vintage cars tool the streets including an Austin 7 with a license plate which reads WHATHO driven by a later day Bertie Wooster. Every February there is an Art Deco Festival
