What a weekend! It was either blowing a hooley or raining cats and dogs, or both all weekend and it was still raining steadily this morning so when CD (Chris and Dave) called to ask if we wanted to go to Kerikeri for shopping it was a delighted 'yes please'.
I didn't like shopping when I lived in London now it's a treat.
Kerikeri is the main town in Northland thirty minutes north from Opua and one of the first European settlements in New Zealand. Today it's a bustling market town, not big, but enough variety of outlets to keep us satisfied. The two Dave's enthused in the hardware shop, Chris and I liked the supermarket. David did too as he quietly slipped Tim Tams and white chocolate in the trolley when he thought I wasn't looking. After the thrill of town we called in to the shopping centre for more goodies and filled the final remaining few spaces left in the car. Back at the marina loading the dinghy was an exercise in tessellation and balance but we made it back with all packages, and us, dry.
