  • Today is our first impression of Napier based in Hawkes Bay. This city has a thriving culture full of lovely cafes and local bakeries which you will fall in love with! it also has a very special Artdeco style which was predominantly in the 1930s and because of the earthquake that happened around this time, the city was rebuilt in this specific style.

    There's a vineyard between Napier and Eskdale called Crab Farm.
    The original farm was developed on land that rose above sea level during the '31 earthquake. The original owners had to endue constant comments from other farmers that the only livestock they'd be able to raise were crabs.

    The two other notable Art Deco cities are Miami Beach and Venice California
    Some of the buildings in Napier are newly built in Art Deco style. You can usually tell if you look at how the window frames are constructed. The originals will have steel or wood frames.

    The pine trees in N Z are of high quality. Example Radiata pine trees grow a lot faster 2-3 years whereas other country's 6-9 years so therefore make sense to export. NZ tend to grow, cut down and export raw materials whereas overseas tend to convert theirs to high end products.
    Therefore there has been a lot of contension about why NZ is not doing both as it would be lucrative for NZ export income.

    I grew up in Hawkes Bay but spent most of that time in Hastings which is a short drive from Napier and also lived in Napier for a short time. I miss the weather, lifestyle, beaches, vineyards. Napier and Hastings were rebuilt after the 1931 earthquake in art deco style and lots of the streets are lined with palm trees. You feel like you're in California or somewhere in the Mediterranean. Even the winters are sunny most of the time unlike Auckland where I live now.
