Napier

 Napier was effectively flattened by a massive earthquake in the 1930's.

 The rebuild town adopted the Art Deco style of architecture with a passion.

The effect is quite magical.   If I was today's Napier town planner , I would remove all the palm trees along the streets.  They diminish the collective beauty of all these lovely buildings. 

The sea front is brilliant for a stroll, 

with pretty house facing the sea.  We did manage to find some items suitable for the dollhouse in the blue shop.  Miniatures are not at all an interest of New Zealanders.  Found very little to place in the Black and White house, sadly.
