Arrived in Auckland, had a few Betty moments.......
We drove the car out of the car park and someone walked behind us. Mum said, "If you back over a pedestrian you wouldn't have a leg to stand on"....
We then went to a supermarket in town and a lot of the people were, well, odd.
Got back in the car and said to mum, "Weren't they a strange lot".
Mum said "Were they in a group, or were they spasmodic?"
We had many lunches in a wonderful restaurant Soul. One day mum ordered a Turkish pie. We asked if she like it and she was a bit reticent. She said "I loved the pie but I couldn't taste the turkey".
We then talked about the food in Italy and said that the pasta was quite strong and a not at all soft. Mum said "Oh isn't that crazy, we always have to cook ours al dente"....
We then had coffee at the naval base over in Davenport mum shared with us "Isn't amazing how Navel Bases have such lovely waterviews!"
