Tom and Findlay decided to have a bit more of an energetic afternoon and see if Isabel still knew how to ride a bike. (It was 15 years since she was last on one.) Much to everyones amazement there was only a very slight wobble then she was off! They just spent 40 or so minutes touring the streets. Tom did get a bit worried at one point after he had told Isabel she didn't have to use her brakes too much. Next thing he knew she had disappeared down Queen Street at a great rate of knots - He reckoned she was nearly reaching the speed limit (50km)and he had to peddle like crazy to catch up with her and tell her to slow down! Fun was had by all and I don't think Isabel's derriere suffered too much!
To finish off the afternoon Tom, the two Isabels and Findlay finished off the monopoly game which they started earlier in the week. Findlay had bought a new World Monopoly game with some of his Christmas money and was keen to show off is financial business skills (Findlay has more money in his savings account than any of the rest of us!) He had a great time virtually bankrupting his Gran and eventually winning the game with several millions of dollars more than anyone else. Gran felt a little aggrieved accusing him of cheating ...and no it wasn't just sour grapes!
The winning tycoon
In the evening we decided to go out for a meal. We headed off to Monaco to the Honest Lawyer Pub. Monaco is a small peninsula near the airport and the Honest Lawyer is a traditional English style country pub by the estuary. We had a lovely meal topped off with some local cider. Quite delicious!
