i took the girls to their orchestra practice this morning which involved sitting in the car reading the paper and listening to the wireless. well, at least that’s what it involved for me.
we then regrouped back at home and decided that given the watery weather we should go to the nautical maritime museum in town.
esther suggested we went by bus, so we did. and that meant we could have our lunch at a food court down town. it’s more expensive to go in to town by bus than to drive and park which always erks me, but it was very convenient so no worries there.
anyway, the maritime museum is free for auckland residents, and is really rather good. (that sounded terribly british didn’t it). it’s like the place in henley if you know that, only about three times the size (probably). It also has some very cool boats like the one above (apply named for choppy waters?) and the one below which won some race once.
it’s a great mixture of historical boatingness and modern boatie stuff.
after the museum we went to a cafe for spirulinas
and then this evening we watched Madagascar 2. and now it’s now (it so often is i find). best to bed as i’m up early for music playing in the morrow.
