A Quiet Day

We had planned for a 'down' day because rain had been forecast. Actually it was to be fine in the morning and wet in the afternoon which is exactly what happened 🙃. With the temperature being around 18deg it was a warming change.
We had nothing adventurous planned and the tour guide had not planned any cycling journeys. I suppose you might call it a domestic day as the laundromat was the main destination. There is a good large Liquid Laundromat here in Thames so we were set to wash our dirty laundry in the main street 😀.
There was one other important activity to do in Thames which was very high on our list of activities. We do this each time we visit Thames. Yes I know, you are probably wondering why we don't change it around a bit. However, if you have ever been to the Thames Wharf fish and chips shop, you will know why. There is none better than this chippy! The fish is straight from the sea, and the kumera chips are out of this world! Well worth a visit if you come visiting.
We walked the main street and were amazed at the number of antique/junk shops there are here. You could fossick around in them for hours...if they were open. There is also a plethora of cafes. They must be a hungry lot who live in Thames 🤔.
After lunch the tour guide had a nap to work off the fish and chips while the driver read his latest book.Read more
