I went to the city last weekend.

On Sunday there was the Santa Parade in Auckland city. The weather was very nice although windy,so I went to the city with Hue and his homestay mom and dad. We arrived in the city at 11 o'clock, so then we went for a walk in the city. Hue's homestay mom wanted to take us to famous places in the city, so we went to Britomart and the port. I especially liked the port with nice ships. I took photos in front of the ships and Hue took photos of me. When I looked around the port, I thought I would like to have my own ship for my holiday. It would be great with my family and friends. After that we moved to a shopping centre and had lunch there. I ate a muffin and drank a cup of cappuchino, I especially love the cream on cappuchino. When we went out of the shopping centre, there were many people waiting for the Parade in the street, and some people sat down on the ground. The band played carols through on their musical instruments and I enjoyed everything. The Parade started at 2 o'clock, so we had to wait more than one hour standing. It was difficult. Unfortunately, there was a sudden heavy downpour, so I ran into the shopping centre. When I went were back to the place before I had been standing, I could not go there. Many people were already there, so I had to see the Parade from the back. I could hardly see the Parade. Sometimes Hue took me up in his arms, so I could see a little and take photos. After the Parade finished , we went back home and drank beer. Even though I could not see the Parade very well, I enjoyed it. Next time when I go to the city, I want to drink beer outside a cafe in the Viaduct Basin.
