A new day awaits us as we woke up fresh and chirpy... Had a good night's sleep and our day started at 10 am...
amanda was our little helper in charge of the gps throughout the entire trip... :) as usual, daddy went round uni-hunting.... boring... *yawns*
bought his tees and sweatshirts as usual...
drove to st lukes (auckland's largest mall) recommended by the bus driver when we boarded the bus at auckland's fish market last night... hehehe.... had lunch there and did lots of shopping... advantage of self-drive is you can just dump your loots in the car boot... hehe!
since the sky was still bright, we decided to drive to long bay beach and park...
daddy balancing himself while trying to capture shots of the seagulls soaring in the sky...
the car became our mobile wardrobe as we had a change of outfit.. lol!
our shadows and the awesome beach of long bay.... :)
the feeling there was great.. totally relaxing....
these 2 boys caught our attention and we couldn't help but sneak a few shots of them... :P
extreme lower right... beware : ducks crossing!
decided to squeeze in devonport as well since it was still bright at 7pm.... woohoo.... i love long days...
look at the father & daughter doing the same pose... can you spot a guy swimming in the sea?
what a lovely poodle...
devonport yacht club
devonport is a lovely town... would be nice if we could sit down, relax and have a drink at one of the taverns... but a pity we were running short of time...
dropped by countdown to get some grocery... silly us, parked at britomart and it cost us NZ8 for just 1 hour 4 mins of parking... gosh! countdown provides free parking for their shoppers and it's right at the doorstep...
decided to cook dinner... prepared mushroom pasta with fresh prawns, bought 3 types of salads (cannot remember which but they were absolutely delicious), fried eggs and also ready-packed bbq drumsticks... it was a sumptuous meal... had actually wanted to take a picture of everything nicely set up but by the time we started cooking, it was almost 10pm and we were all famished... so started devouring whatever could be eaten while waiting for pasta to be cooked.... hahaa..... amanda helped me in preparing the meal... :)
amanda also tried oreo dipped in milk before she slept... she said she's been seeing this in the advertisement and wondered how it tasted like, so decided to try...
