We didn't plan to do too much today, just as well as it was raining. We went out to have coffee but all the shops were closed until 1.00 for Anzac Day.
After lunch we managed to get a dry spell and took Totty out for a walk. She is getting very brave now on our little beach, when the tide is out. She ran off a very long way out chasing the birds and there is no way she will come back until she is ready. It was really quite windy down there today.
Jon had booked tickets online for us to go and see a Cuban Dance show but when we got to the theatre to collect the tickets he noticed that they were booked for 24th and today was 25th. Oh dear what a waste of money. It was only on for one night. We decided to go and have a look what was on the cinema and booked to see Marley and Me. We then went to get a pizza in a little Italian place we had been to when we first arrived and it was really good.
We had a bit of time to wait for the film to start and noticed that the tickets had seat numbers allocated and ours were row D. I can't sit too close to the screen so we asked if we could change them but the girl said it was next to back row!!! When we got into the cinema it was indeed next to back row - there were only five rows with a total of 19 seats. It was us and two boys watching the film, sweet little cinema. I really enjoyed the film and had a good cry.
Sunday was not a very good day either so after a late start we went over to the shopping centre and bought a stand to raise the laptop up as I am getting a sore neck and a wireless keyboard. We also bought a standard lamp as I hate the big overhead ceiling lights and now we have to put them on so early it looks horrible. The shop had 25% off everything so we got a good deal. Jon has been trying to make the cordless keyboard work but has had no luck so we may have to have a trip back to the shop.
In the shopping centre we had a look at all the food bars around the main sitting area. There are two sushi bars which look very good, a lovely looking Chinese, an Indian, a Turkish, McDonald's and a bar where you can get a roast dinner. Family dining has never been easier. We saw one family where the baby had his food heated at the coffee bar then the mum went off and got Chinese and then the dad had a roast. That would have been very useful when our girls were little!
We are off to Napier tomorrow until Tuesday but the weather is not looking too good for our trip.
