Last night, we were alerted by our bank, to
some odd transactions on our credit card through iTunes. Upon investigation,
quite a number of in app game purchases had been made accidentally! resulting
in $2807.90 charged to our credit card! I emailed iTunes and explained about
the accidental purchases and was soo very super happy and grateful when I
received an email back stating that on this occasion they would refund the
charges. Apple, you rock!
So on a much happier note we headed down to
the Esplanade market where we also stumbled upon a man made lagoon, will have
to come back here for a swim. The market was ok, quite a bit smaller than
expected, but had some lovely sculptures of flamingos and peacocks. We did
stumble upon what could maybe be called “The Big Ugg”?!
Back for a swim after lunch and then it was
time to feed the turtles and fish, this time Ella spotted a sea snake and an
eel! They met a brother and sister about their age and it was back to the pool
for a play before the cold water got the better of them and they decided a game
of soccer would be a better idea.
All was going well until the ball ended up in
the fish & turtle creek! Mario skirted around the edge, across the water,
clung to the branches and retrieved Oscars ball! His sister Ebby said he was
fine, when I queried if he was ok to be doing that? He’s a monkey she said! So
Super Mario as he has now been named and the others moved their game over and
away from the creek.
It was happy hour and more kids had
appeared and a game of tag took over for more than an hour. Ella and Occy
scoffed their dinner and were back out to play with their new friends, only
returning cause it was dark and the bugs were starting to bite!
