L0p3z and Neno's Upside-Down Adventure: A couple of weeks in the sun

Since the last update we have been enjoying the amazing weather and exploring the local area of Devonport. We have tried to gloat too much with everyone struggling in the snow back home. In between job hunting we have visited much of the area, we found a local project where artists abandoned their work in public places for people to find and keep. So far we haven't found anything but I am very good at spotting rubbish.

Lloyd arranged to meet with his old school friends Alex and Stephanie, they were about to embark on a two week cruise with their family. It was fun to meet up for a beer, catch up and share some knowledge of New Zealand.

Every Friday in the redeveloped Wynyard Quarter there is an outdoor movie showing and food market. This is new for the area and although the markets are a little small is already very popular. Last week we braved the wind and went to see Top Gun. It's fun to watch a film with a large crowd, everybody reacts to what's going on and it generates a great atmosphere. This week Lloyd is very excited to go and see Ghostbusters.

We have also made a great foodie discovery, the Glenfield Night Markets. These happen every Sunday in the car park of the Glenfield mall. There is a massive selection of mostly Asian food to sample, the hardest part is choosing what to have. Luckily it really cheap and you can try many different things. Lloyd's favourite was the BBQ squid, I preferred Gozleme which is a Turkish pastry filled with spinach and feta cheese.
