On saturday we went to the zoo, Auckland Zoo is world class and has some great education and breeding programs. The new native bird habitats are outstanding in their function and design. We rounded the day off nicely with dinner at our favourite restaurant Monsoon Poon as a treat.
Then on sunday we had the traditional big family lunch and and Easter Eggs, and took Holly and Nick back to the airport - talk about a flying visit!
