Day Three

Lillianna on the ferry to Davenport

Today was our just missed it kind of day. Lisa dropped us off at the wharf to take the ferry across to Davenport and we just missed the Ferry, so we had to wait 1/2 hour for the next one. It is a nice short ride across- less than 15 minutes. When we got across we wandered around a bit, but before we could get far Lillianna spied the park, so it was slides and see saws until it was time for a diaper change. Then we had lunch in a cute little cafe. And because Lillianna decided to start the day about about 5:30 she was running out of steam, so we started to head home. We got to the ferry dock to see it pulling away. Another half an hour wait. Got to the bus stop just after the bus left and got home just in time for the sun to come out. We still had a good morning, but we wish the sun would have been out earlier...

On the way to the ferry we stopped to look at the Christmas window displays at one the expensive department stores. They had mice doing all sorts of things to get ready for Christmas. Lillianna's eyes lit up like nobodies business and I was glad she was excited to get on the boat otherwise we might have had a tearfest leaving them behind.

Tomorrow we leave for a couple of days to see other parts of the north island (in other words probably won't be updating the blog again for a while:) )
