Sadly we had to say goodbye to Lynda and Lloyd this morning. Considering only 4 weeks ago we didn't know what each other even looked like we left them today feeling like old friends who we'd known for years. Hopefully that will happen.
Today was our final appointment at the Travelwise centre to finish off our course of vaccinations also enabling us to return the cool boxes that they had so kindly lent us. They have all been so helpful and also seem like old friends now.
Not being able to check in to the Takapuna Oaks, where we will be staying the next two nights, until 1400 we popped to Devonport and had lunch of Steak pie in Guinness at The Patriot pub, served by a Welsh guy and a Scouse guy! After checking in we headed off to NZ's only IMAX cinema in Auckland City to watch the new Star Wars film in 3D.
Eerily the ferry both ways was totally empty except for a handful of travellers and the city centre was quiet, only the tourists about.
We were looking forward to a Christmas Day in the sun!
