Mecca

 


In big cities like Auckland there seem to be more and more new shopping malls and buildings cropping up everywhere. This street scene I took through the car window while we were driving around the outskirts of the central city. So I looked up their website and it looks like they specialize in makeup along with haircare and skincare etc with quite over inflated prices, no doubt there will be a lot of people who can afford to pay those amounts. Think I'd rather stick to my routine and try to age well gracefully.

Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.

Here it's been reported and much discussed in the media lately that young teenage girls and even pre-teens spend lots and lots of money on skin care, even though they really don't need it, and sometimes it can even cause damages. Totally insane! (and social media like tiktok to blame...)

I've got favourite creams. They're cheap-ish and do a good job.

Aukland is nice, what we saw. Our plane landed early in the morning. The shuttled us to a hotel to wait on our ship to dock, discharge passengers, and be ready. But we didn't stay in Aukland. Instead we walked to the docks and caught a ferry to a small town across the bay. We spent the morning exlporing over there, climbed the little "mountain", and saw all that was there. Later in the day we ferried back to the docks and boarded our ship. It went south, visited along the east coast, then across to the Aus and visted three more places there. We stayed in Sydney five nighs. All that ate up 15 interesting days of our lives. Then flew back to Houston, Texas where we lived.
