Waking up to the results from Super Saturday

Waking up to find out Team GB had won six gold medals overnight was incredible, but a shame I missed them!!
The talent at the Olympics this year seems to be incredibly, with many broken records proving this!
Today for me was another day of relaxation, but also new experiences! A leisurely start then saw me and Thea travel to Takapuna (North Shore) for a quick wander around the shops, and a Pita Pit for lunch (like subway but pittas - and so much better!) this also saw me taste falafel for the first time - yum!
After this, we headed to the stadium Mt. Smart - the home of Aucklands Mighty Warriors - the only national League team in NZ. Today they were to be playing the Sharks (from Aus.)
Unfortunately It was not their day, and they lost horrifically 45-4. Although a sad loss, it was a new experience for me having never watched League rugby. It was a much faster moving game, and with it being "Heroes Day" in NZ, the police, lifeguard, fireman etc. relay at half time added to the fun of the day, along with a helicopter landing in the middle of the pitch to deliver the match balls! Heading back to the house we were greeted by the most fantastic dinner from my auntie - Roast Lamb, followed by a treat she has been teasing my cousin with for 23 years and has never made - Baked Alaska. It was fantastic - although after realising quite how much ice cream we had each eaten, we were again as full as yesterday!! A great day! :)
