Wednesday morning we walked to the Britomart to get our HOP cards which give Gold Card Pensioners free train, bus and ferry transport in Auckland any time after 9am. We walked back along the viaduct. They are having "The Big Hoot" which is a series of large fibreglass owls decorated by different artists. I like the Meowl which combined elements of cats (meow) and owls.

and the bright Beach T'owl. There was also a series of plaques telling of the Marine History and all those gorgeous boats to ogle at.
Hugh and Cathy Douglas picked us up and took us to the Mission Bay Pavilion for lunch and then we went to look at their new home by the Remuera Golf Course - Duncan correctly identified the hole as the 9th!.

Between the 4 of us we had quite a string of ailments. It was late afternoon and Hugh was getting concerned about the traffic - "No worries we said, we'll take the train." Easy peasy with our HOP cards.
We had a little nap before heading out to one of the viaduct restaurants for a light meal.
