I like the city of NAPIER, a very unique little town, because every year there is always an ART DECO festival. celebrated by residents all over the City of New Zealand. they were dressed in the era of the 1935s. and there is also an Indonesian restaurant 🇮🇩 which is very old until now.

Good job! Great video and City of Napier. Being a small city, looks plenty of chains, well designed parks and super clean streets. I hope people keep it up forever and I wish a brilliant future for New Zealand.

Nice vid! Use to love skating along the marine parade! The sound shell is still there! I saw cold chisel play there in 1981. Apart from the Earthquakes, is a lovely town to live. Wouldn't recommend swiming in the ocean right there. Strong undertow. Lovely & thanks for posting!

What I love about Napier is... it's Cleanliness. , When ever I see Litters(which rarely to be seen) on ground I pick it up with no hesitation. to be honest not always but most of the time. Keeping something clean is one of many civilized people's properties. Viva La Auckland.

Hi Tom, During the 1970's I managed to visit New Zealand on five separate occasions from my home in Australia. I mostly visited the North Island, but missed seeing Napier completely. So, thanks for sharing this video with your excellent narration. I am now seeing an area that I missed seeing when travelling to New Zealand. That guy does a great job playing the piano in Emerson Street. Incidentally, prior to 1931, Napier ran a tramway network. Unfortunately, it was all destroyed in the earthquake and was never rebuilt. All the very best. Robert.

Napier is such a beautiful place ~ I read about this town / City while researching Art Deco architecture ~ Every town / City should have an Art Deco area of this type of architecture I think ! ~ One of my best Mates & his Missus were lucky enough to to go live in New Zealand (Were his job had taken them from Australia) ~ And I messaged thim about this wonderful Town/City Napier & How beautiful It looks ~ Thanks for sharing your brisk walk through Napier on that lovely day !

The piano is owned by one of the local shops... they put it on the street each day so that any passer by who wants to sit down and play can. People that learn the piano but cannot afford one of their own will sometimes sit down and play it. But basically anyone who wants play a tune can :-)

My grandmother used to live on Breakwater Road (around the other side of Napier hill on the left hand side of the port) across the road from the beach. I would wander across the road and go swimming in the ocean most days in the summer... much more sheltered and safer on that side. :-) Nasty Ocean shelf and rips on the Marine Pde side though...

Those 'benches', the big white nut-looking things, are actually part of a geotech project to hold the ground in place . They are the nuts on the end of long bolts set into the bedrock to bind the ground together and stop it shearing, should there be another earthquake. Just kidding.
