Next stop for Charlotte and co. was the (in)famous City of Sails....
Well, it was another drizzly day in Auckland but that didn't stop us from taking in some of sights at the Viaduct, including a stop for some great fish and chips.
Going for some New Zealand fish and chips was high on my list of things to do for our visit and this seemed like the perfect time to cross that item off the list. The fish was fresh and lightly battered and served along side thick cut chips. Really tasty on a chilly damp day. My only complaint -this country makes you PAY for ketchup or 'tomato sauce' as they like to call it! Really?! pay extra for tomato sauce to accompany my chips? I'm not even a ketchup/tomato sauce lover, but I do like a little something to dip my fries in (note to Fraser and Catherine Nicholson - if you are planning on visiting NZ, and I highly recommend that you do, remember to bring along your travel bottle of heinz!). In North America you can get ketchup with anything, no charge... just saying...
Ketchup aside, it was a fun day wandering around, looking at all the yachts and playing at the marine themed playground with Tiggy.

...the ketchup might be free in Canada, but they make you pay for Caller ID, parking at the beach (in B.C.), and a plethora of hidden fees and taxes for almost every human activity you can imagine!
ReplyDeleteWe all love Canada though. It is where we call home ;)
