After walking on Milford beach Fran had to have her hair 'done' in Albany. We dropped Fran off and had a healthy meal at MacDonalds ($5 a meal!!). The boys wanted to check when 'Monsters Vs Aliens' is on, we promised them we would take them. As you can see the cinemas are huge and are great at seducing you to go and see other movies with trailers on about 50 screens!
I wanted to buy a magazine in a bookshop called 'Borders' and this is an amazing place. Its a standard bookshop with a cafe. When we went there there was a lady reading stories. The boys sat down for 10 mins and listened. Afterwards she asked them to choose some from the shelves. An hour later they were still sat there listening to stories! I had no choice but to get a coffee and read some magazines. They have them for sale but you just grab one, read it and put it back?! When the 'book lady' had finished I joked with her and said,'Thanks. Same time next week then?' She replied,'Oh yes, every Saturday and Sunday.' Amazing! I love this country.
We were supposed to go to a park but we never left the mall so when Fran returned we decided they needed to have a run around. The 'best thing ever' (SATNAV) gave us a list of parks nearby and we picked one which was a couple of minutes away. It had a skate park hole which a girl rode around and Ollie was transfixed for 10 mins watching her. We got home and he asked where his bike was. We may need more than a helmet for Ollie.
