Jenbolina's Palmy

Jen and Trace

June 12
James spent the morning getting up to date with the world of computing as Jen wanted us to help her choose a new laptop. While Trace and Jen did some chores around town (returning the hire car) when they returned, James then had to try and fix Jens car window which they had managed to get stuck in the open position. After taking most of the door apart he gave up in defeat and we then took it to a garage. Whilst it was being sorted we popped in to Harvey Norman (John Lewis equivalent) to show Jen what was available in her price range. Within an hour we left the shop one top of the range laptop and warranty in hand. She really didn't want to mess around. To celebrate we stopped at a coffee shop.

The rest of the day was spent chilling in Jens lounge playing with Jens new toy and finishing off last nights take away.

Whilst James was on the phone to Microsoft and Toshiba getting various issues sorted with the new laptop and Vista opperating system, Trace and Jen walked to the shop to get some breakfast, in the sunshine!
Jen dropped us in town as another problem had occurred overnight with James' i-Pod - it had completely stopped working. To his dismay the man in the shop told him there was nothing he could do and he needed to buy a new one (James doesn't believe him and wanted another opinion). Broken hearted we headed for the liquor store to get a bottle of wine. For lunch Jen had prepared a Roast pork with all the trimmings. This along with a glass of wine was making James feel a little better!
Jen had to go to work in the evening, and Trace went with her. We arrived at the Turbos (the local rugby team) training ground and watched them do their training. We both got to stand on the scrum machine whilst 6 huge men attacked it. Quite a scary experience but great fun!!
When we got back to Jens we finished off the wine and had apple and blackberry crumble for dessert.

Jens holiday was now over so she got up early and went into work. James and I caught up with internet stuff and chilled out, and got our stuff sorted for posting home.
We met up with Jen for lunch at Burger fuel and had a great burger!
We then went to the post office and sent a huge parcel home (with waterproofs in, so hopefully we now wont need them!) This cost us $130, so just a small parcel!

In the evening we picked Jen up from work, got ready and went in to Palmy.
We went to the Flying Fish. This is a very cosy bar where tey specialise in cocktails. We all had 2 eachbefore heading to the cinema for the Movie Premier of Oceans Thirteen. There was a fund raising for the New Zealand Masters Hockey team so we has drinks and buffet in the cinema. It was the best cinema ever, as we have never been to the cinema and drank a glass of wine during the film, the film was pretty good too!
