A brisk sea breeze moves across Napier’s reconstructed streets as the voice in your ear begins: this was ground that shuddered and rose in 1931. Streets open beneath Art Deco facades, and brick façades stand with visible scars where lime mortar failed under seismic stress. The tour places you at the municipal theatre, through Clive Square and past the cathedral memorials, each stop a page in the city’s recovery.
