Napier pier..

Love this interesting 'roof over the pier on Marine Parade Napier .. It was very rough and chilly so didn't hang around too long.
Napier is in the Hawkes Bay which recently suffered devastating flooding and we past through on of the worst hit areas .. we saw vineyards that were barely showing above the silt, apple orchards completely covered with apples about to be harvested in the drains.. Railway lines bent and buckled, tractors straddled fences, cars upside down and covered in silt.. It was really upsetting and you wonder how the farmers and orchardist could ever recover..

So sorry to hear about the devastation in this area. A lovely photo of the pier though, and a very interesting roof.

All this mess still, weeks after the event. Must be so heartbreaking for the land owners.

Feels like I'm there. Also, climate change sucks.

Very interesting roof. We messed up the climate and now we're reaping the consequences.

How awful to see all that…sounds like there’s so much work to get back to normal….heartbreaking & such a lovely area.
The pier hadn’t got this roof on when we went. I’m amazed it’s there as I would expect they get a fair bit if weather even in normal times. It’s very nice though! We liked Napier, I bought a pair of green spotty linen trousers from a linen shop there. I wear them in the summer…if they still fit!🙏🏻
