Thousands of Kiwis on their OE over the years would have said these words; proof that it's never too late !
Anaheim is a great town with Disneyland being a fantastic focus. We did the outlet shopping experience that I nailed in 20 minutes, however total shopping time was well in excess of a couple of hours !! I had a lot of time for people watching (as you'd imagine!) and did meet a bunch of NZ volleyball players who had been over for a competition - it's a small world. We struggled to cram all the goodies into the luggage when we flew to London yesterday and so we'll need to send some home or we'll truly be trouble. Can't say I really enjoy the American food, but we finally found a great bar that served excellent food and as an extra bonus, had a tv in every spare space available that showed so many different sports that I was in absolute heaven ( and yes - there were heaps in the toilets !) photo below - ESPN Zone in Dowtown Disney. Even had a game arcade upstairs - cars, fooz ball, basketball hoops, etc etc .... And IPA on tap ( which wan't bad actually )
We were absolutely knackered on Monday so didn't go to Universal Studios as planned, but may see if we can fit it in on the way back. Good decision in the end as everyone was well rested for the flight to Heathrow. Flight over was uneventful (after we sorted out or late seating changes). I sat next to a Swedish lady who had spent the last 6 months in Dunedin which she totally loved. w all watched a couple of movies, failed miserably to have a sleep however the evening meal was superb - probably something to do with having nothing fried in there !
Wondering if I could sneak away and watch a few overs of the Ashes Test over the next few days ??

Sport heaven with fantastic food as a bonus.
such a gorgeous pic of you and your missus. I laughed out loud at your description of all the tvs I can see your face and Wendy's as she would have looked at you..funny! You should sneak..Bender would probably love a break or chance to laze about somewhere while you at the cricket..the girls can do some more shopping yahoo and its much more relaxing without a hovering bunny. You are all looking so relaxed and happy its great to see.I have just finished another shift and worked out tonight I have been working extra hours without getting paid for it.Bit sad. I was doing part time hours not casual. Never mind. Zachs bday this weekend..mexican fiesta party he has a few friends coming down..xxs for you all
ReplyDeleteHey Kat - Gaz and I would had a hoot of a time in there. It even had TV screens other Uriel's but I thought that publishing a photo of that was one step too far.
DeleteMexican fiesta knees up sounds just the ticket - say hi to him f
...... from us and happy birthday.
DeleteDo you know why the screen freezes while you're posting or replying - hugely annoying. Did you fid a way around it ?

ReplyDeleteCheers Gibbo, it's actually neat fun to write down what has been happening and we can make the blog into a book once we're back. We equally love hearing from everyone back home so keep posting :). Hope you and Bruce are well and that his retirement is going ok - I'm looking forward to getting a golf game or two with him when I get back :)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you are all becoming flying experts! Great to see the familiar faces smiling away and hearing about the awesome travels so far! Jess :)
