From
Happy Hour, we joined up with Dennis and Nancy, Michael and Patsy, Richard and
Vivian, and Gerry and Maggi, and headed out for another Thai dinner restaurant
around the corner. We should know better than to order “the Banquet Meal, but
we did, and it wasn’t very good Thai Food, in our opinion. Too bland and each
dish tasted like the other. The company was wonderful however.

Returning
from the restaurant, we stopped at Movenpick’s Ice Cream store where we each
enjoyed a cone. We discussed tomorrows plans with Michael and Patsy while Dennis took care
of his AA insurance and obtaining a local phone number. Elaine had heard about
MOTAT, the Museum of Transport and Technology, and it seemed like a fun thing
to do. So plans were made to meet at 10 AM to head out to this “museum”.
After
finding our Morgan parking places, the four of us parked and went into the museum stopping by this train on our way in.
Five
hours later, we decided that our feet and backs hurt, and we weren’t going
to get through the remainder of the museum this day. It was a well done museum, that was over many
buildings. We never made it to the aviation museum.

More Morgan people have started to arrive at the hotel with a big group coming in at 12:45 AM tonight.
After
a quick Happy Hour, with Dennis and Nancy joining us, we caught a cab to the
most spectacular movie theatre called the Event Cinemas, where there were
probably 10 screens, a bowling alley, a game room, and more. We enjoyed the Secret Life of Walter Mitty,
showing wonderful scenery of Greenland and Iceland. Walking back to the hotel,
we stopped at a Belgian pub for a good dinner. Food and drink is expensive
here, at least in Auckland.

Plans were made to take the Car Ferry to Waiheke Island on Thursday with us meeting at 9 AM. My back definitely needed a rest day. Stayed tuned for Thursday's blog, which I can't post until some notifications are done- all is ok.
I think I recognize that mixer.
ReplyDeleteSomeone at SIG, either the board or the bus. mtg had a must-see suggestion for you on the north island. I told whoever it was to email you, that I wouldn't remember the name of it, and I don't, so hope they do. Something Valley, I think.
Our restaurant monza is spread in the arcades and is easily accessible from C.rso Milan. You can also book a table and ask our customers to report immediately any requests.
