Hi,
We flew to Auckland to meet my parents off their long cruise. First cruise ship of the season into Auckland. But when we got to Auckland we got a message from them that they were both so sick. Stomach bugs. They were hot up for leaving their cabins.
Mike and I found a cafe not far from their ship and could see through the incessant rain to the port side of the ship. Amano cafe - we went here before the Meat Loaf show we went to with the Sampsons a few years back.
We decided to find our hotel and hopefully either get into the room early or leave our luggage there. We stood in reception in our dripping clothes and decided that for $20 we could pay and get into our room early.

After a bit of settling in, we decided to try and spot my parents on the ship. Turns out they were not port side at all. But that was good because on the port side we could walk right alongside the ship. We spotted Mum high up on the ship.

We called each other and chatted for a bit. Dad was sleeping off his bug. But I could tell Mum really was not well.
Mike and I left her to go shopping. Grabbed a few things. And back to the room. We stayed mostly dry as we wandered around town. I watched a Farah Palmer Cup game. Good fun. I also got up at 3am to watch the All Blacks v Springboks. Then showered and ready for our Uber to Auckland Airport at 6.30am.

Easy flight over to Sydney. We left around 9.30am. I watched The Mandalorian and Grogu. I enjoyed that.
Dropped our bag at the hotel and then caught the Metro to Tallawong and met everyone there. Even Tyler was there. Awwww. Went for a walk with the boys. Watched some TV. Ate a lot of food.

Caught the train back to Waterloo and walked to the hotel. Good sleep. Up for a run on the treadmill and showered and then off to work.
Enjoy your day.
Love,
Angela
