Angel and I have been visiting our Grandparents in Tauranga over Easter. Mum and Dad went down to Mt. Ruapehu for the weekend.

We left for Tauranga at 5 am on Good Friday. Not suprisingly there wasn't much traffic - then. Later on in the day it was nose to tail all the way to the Thames turnoff!

One of the (main) reasons we went to Tauranga was to attend the annual Tauranga Rotary Book Sale. This sale is held every Easter, and they have thousands of books, magazines, jigsaws, videos, cds, records, and tapes. The sale opened at 9 am on Saturday, so we got up bright and early to arrive at the venue for 8 am. I'm serious! And we weren't the first people. There were about 80 people in front of us in the line. To transport the books I carried a bag - Angel had 4 plastic boxes on a trolley (otherwise known as a sack truck)!

After the first day of book buying, I had picked up 8 books for $8. Angel, on the other hand, had bought 111 books!!! At the end of the sale, which we revisited, I had 14 books for $13.50, and Angel had over 160 books.
