Labour Weekend in Auckland





 Oh woe is me, we visited Auckland at the weekend and Loo and Molly found the shops!



We stayed at the Sky Tower Hotel, complete with roof-top pool.






Loo and Molly really fell in love with the traditional Kiwi houses in Auckland.



The Zoo is marvellous.

 




Molly ate a chicken nugget in front of a cockerel, it only seems like a few weeks since she discovered what they were made from and became squeamish for a short while!







                                                  



The Kiwi guys are real lookers














As you can see, the animals were very well cared for





 Especially these ones!













On the way back to Mount Maunganui we passed through Paeroa, home of the L&P (lemon and paeroa drink) It proudly proclaims on their bottles that they are famous throughout the world in New Zealand!














As it was labour day on Monday (Bank Holiday) we had a walk along the beach and Molly went on the bouncy thing.









Hope you like the photos, we are packing our suitcases tonight and will be in the new temporary accommodation from tomorrow until at least the end of January. The majority of our belongings will be arriving at midday, but the morning will be reserved for some military style cleaning operations!

Must go, Loo is waiting with the rubber gloves and feather duster!
