We started a new week and for me this means another long week of intensive study. After three weeks break I am entering that phase again - study, study and study.
Last weekend was study-free and this was a great weekend. I did not plan to do anything special, but it turned out to be amazing. It was a special weekend because it was our 21 month wedding anniversary. David and I celebrate every month that we have been together and we have done this since we started going out in 2011. We do this because we are so grateful for every month we are still together. We do not have a fancy celebration, usually only short messages via email or text is enough to make our day extra ordinary.

On Sunday, we decided to go for a walk going down Queen street, to the water front and watch the boats at the harbour. While we were looking at some ferries and speed-boats I suddenly had a thought to board the ferry and go to Devonport. I was glad that David agreed to follow my impulsive desire for adventure, so we bought two return tickets. David was so excited as it was his first time on the ferry to Devonport, although he was slightly disappointed we could not go to the top deck due to bad weather.
It was almost dark when we arrived at Devonport so I could not take good pictures with my iphone. I was so gutted that I left my Canon camera at home but I will write more detail about Devonport in a different post and attached some photos from previous adventures to Devonport.

Most of the shops were already closed but we found a really interesting book store that was still open called The Bookmark. An old New Zealand map displayed near the entrance caught my eye, and I entered the shop. I realised that this shop is no ordinary book store as it has both antique and new books as well as ornaments from WWII. There are some comfy chairs for people who want to read their huge collection.
After we finished browsing, we went to the nearby take away shop to have fish and chips for dinner. The sign board says "since 1918", wow! The shop was small, with only one table, but they made the best fish and chips I have ever had.

We spent the rest of our time on the wharf watching the city lights before getting back on the ferry to Auckland.
