Shop till you drop.

 With the time difference it was before lunch when we arrived, so once we settled in it was off to go shopping. Simon and Jackie arrived a couple of days before us and caught up with her brother Zane and partner Amelia, and went to an animation art gallery which was interactive.

I was in the girls team, while  Duncan and Teddy were in the Boys team. I don't need to tell you who were the best shoppers.

The Smiggles shop FOR ONE ITEM ONLY.  A small book and pen.

The hat was bought at the markets on the previous day and if you squeezed its hands the ears went up.

Kind passerby took this shot.

Cotton On. Jeans, T Shirt and boots.

I was very pleased with these purchases as the total came through at NZ$42-75. But I guess we had to hunt through things as the sizes, colours and styles were a real mish mash.

A real mod chick now!

The next shop was pretty pricey in comparison - the Lindt Chocolate shop where we picked up a dozen!

The Boys team, on the other hand was only able to pick up a pair of shoes for Grandad!

Teddy bought the cap at the market on the previous day.
But no purchases today.

Jackie and Simon had walked in, while the kids and us got an uber, and we had planned to do the same on the way home, but as we exited the mall we saw a taxi-van, and all piled in. It gave Duncan and I a bit of a time to rest, while Simon whipped up a delicious chicken Caesar Salad for tea.
