So, we ate our meal extra slowly and paid our 20 bucks for four games of bingo. It was really fun! You played two cards per game. They call the numbers slightly differently here: instead of saying I-22 they say ‘22, two ducks’. I guess the two looks like a duck. And every single number has its own little mnemonic… 47, stairway to heaven, number 4, shut the door. So that made it interesting.

We didn’t win anything, but it was fun and unexpected. I expect we’ll do it again.

On the way out, we got this shot of a pohutukawa all lit up… beautiful!
