The Big Guys

Friday 28th of April we went to the Tokoroa Cosmopolitan Club, for after work drinks.They had a band called "The Big Guys" who are awesome, there are three of them and the singer was hilarious, with changes of costumes and other props to add to the entertainment. They started off by playing Cold Chisel, INXS and other very danceable songs it was hard to stop dancing. Then they had a break and we were able to sneak home. I thoroughly recommend seeing them if you get the chance!

Dining at the Mount

One Saturday on a summer night, we went to Mount Maunganui for dinner. It was a lovely warm night and there were plenty of people out strolling and enjoying themselves.We had a quick drink at the Creme Bar, Chiefs were leading the Blues at half time (and ended up the winners) hurrah.Then a short down the main street and we were in time for our reservation at La Barca Da Francesco, a small Italian restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere and fabulous food.http://www.labarca-da-francesco.co.nz/
