We woke up quite late this morning - and even when we opened our eyes, we couldn't be bothered to get out of bed - this is one of the guilty pleasures of having a real bed (indoors) I suppose! When we were finally up-and-about, we decided that - seeing as it's our 2 year anniversary on Monday - we'd go our separate ways and look for pressies for each other.
After about an hour-or-so of looking about, I went into a surf shop to see if there was anything in there for Nikki, and who did I bump in to? Yep, Nikki (great minds think alike). We decided that we couldn't be bothered to look around anymore - and that we'd rather buy gifts when we're together, and so instead went and got a cake and a hot chocolate in a bakery.
Nikki made us a spaghetti bolognese for our tea and then we went out to the theatre to watch a play we'd bought tickets for earlier. We didn't know anything about the play - but the tickets were only $10 each (about £4), so we thought 'what the heck!' We're really glad we went. The play was called Babylon Heights and it was brilliant. It only had 4 people in it and it was quite a dark comedy - but it was really well done.
As we were walking back to the hostel, we looked in a couple of bars to see if the rugby was on (New Zealand vs South Africa), and everywhere seemed pretty quiet - so we assumed it was over. We didn't bother stopping for a drink and instead came straight back (for a cuppa). When we got back to the room we realised the rugby HAD just started - so we watched it in bed instead.
Watching plays at the theatre and then drinking cuppas in our room - old farts!
