Monday 29th November - Day 13

Had the best nights sleep in a very comfy bed. Matthew was lying in bed planning how to fit in all the cafes and how to have a majorly productive day. We decided to just cruise the morning with more washing and a good breakfast together, making the most of having three nights in one place.
Post brekky we all headed out to the pool. Ruby managed to do strokes and breath, most impressive. We then had mixed shoulder ride wars with Ruby and Mum wiping the floor with the others (yeah right). Lots of laughter and fun was had by all.
Chores complete it was time to get back on the cafe mission. After taking photos of the oversize crabs, we went through Mapua on our way to Nelson and tried for a cheap lunch at the bakery. Not cheap, not great, never mind.
We had heard great things about Lambretta cafe and every word was true. We met the focussed and fast talking Rhys and his partner, who was a little more chilled, Leanne. The food was fantastic, the scooters and themed surrounds popped, the kids area kept Ruby happy for a long time and it has been voted by the family as the best cafe we have been to so far. Service is top of mind and Rhys and Leanne have managed to create lifestyle for themselves and experience for the punter that is to be admired.
We took the long way home trying to find another cafe we had been told about. We found it and it was closed, as was the car door on Rubys fingers. Not too bad, but not fun either. I think the kids are competing to have the biggest injury. Ethan cut his leg (little) by the pool and Mika slipped and has some pretty impressive bruises on his leg and side.
Once we got back to Motueka Top 10 Holiday Park everyone was back into the pool. Have to say that these top 10 parks are great for the kids with pools and gamesrooms to keep them happy.
Dinner is on the go and we are enjoying not having to move on for two more nights. Loving the Moa dresses and the space in the Honda. Sponsers are a beautiful thing.
See you tomorrow...
