3 weeks holiday!!!!!

Although it does not feel very Christmassy in the heat the good thing is that Wellington practically closes down until the end of January as everyone takes their Summer Holidays!!!! No pushing and shoving at the Boxing Day Sales and plenty of Car Parks!!!! We both have 3 weeks off this year!!!
We walked into the City today to buy my new camera and Rob's new Playstation 3 (because we dont have enough Games Consoles?????). It was such hard work we had to stop at 'Wasabi' our favourite Sushi Train Restaurant in Cuba St for some refreshment........yum!!!!!
