A good nights sleep

We had a lovely night's sleep considering we are on a main road and we could hear so much going on in the street last night.

We went across to the cafe near the Maritime museum and had a good breakfast then back to the hotel to check out and set off to English Corner shop where we stocked up on a lot of things that Heather wanted but didn't really need!!! Cadbury's chocolate - having her here is so bad for me.

We then drove to the Kiwi International Hotel to check it out. It is very cheap and Heather is considering staying here for the night that her friend, Katharine, arrives. It looks fine, nothing plush but it is clean and the dinner and breakfast menu look fine and they allowed us to look around so I think she will be fine there.

We then set off down to Tauranga and stopped for a coffee just off the main road at Woodland Historic house which is open to the public and we will go back one day and have a look around but didn't have time today. We had a lovely brownie and a coffee in the cafe.

The rest of the drive home was fine apart from over the Kaimai Hills which were very messy but fine once we got to the other side.

After lunch Heather and I went to the supermarket and bought some perfume from one of the big shops who had a sale on. We also went into NOOD (New Objects of Desire) which only opened a few months ago and is now closing down. I bought some nice place mats.

I cooked dinner which was very nice chicken with creme fraiche and heather actually liked it, too.
