I did some excersize again this morning but I didn't have time to practice katas or cumatays.I packed a lunch for both mother and I and then we went into town so that I could take out some more money. Audry was looking for a bank so that she could try to transfer money from a savings account to a checkings so that she could pay off a bill , but they wouldn't let her and we haven't found a place that will as of yet. We then went to look for the Agrodome and ZORBing.
Finding the road that leads to the Agrodome and the ZORBing was a chalenge since along the same road there's a sign for Agroadventures and Paradice Valley. Once there we decided to go see the indoor agrodome show. I got to pet a sheep finally! They were very nice animals and well tamed. Some visitors rubbed their noses with them and others pulled on their ears! I was content to pet the sheep and take flash pictures. The show was very entertaining, the host was making jokes every two seconds. I think some of the laughter was lost to the correans that listened to headphones in the back rows or pews. Because they didn't laugh when the rest of us did and laughed when everyone else was silent. Also there was a fake aukshion for a little sheep and an oriental woman had won and yet a man from china ran onto the stage when she was called up!
We got to watch some sheep shearing, some dog training, some duck quacking, and something they called "backing" where the sheep dogs ran accross the backs of the sheep. We got to see 19 different breeds of sheep that they farm here in New Zealand. After the show they offered photo opertunities and we were admitted to the baby barn were they had 6 baby lambs and three young'uns. They were addorible!
I tried to go ZORBing but due to weather conditions they didn't have any they would keep you dry. In other words I'd get wet and if I wanted to go today I'd have to sit soaking in the car while we go shopping and I'd probably get sick again. So I didn't take up their offer :(
We ate dinner and I practiced some majong...turtle style!
