Hi Everyone,
WE'VE HAD THE MOST AWESOME COUPLE OF DAYS!!!
Yesterday's cricket was really relaxing, except when all the crowd in our area though a ball was going to land on their heads, turns out it wasn't even a six! I predicted well, I think I'm a natural! lol! Thought it would be good to get 6 wickets by the end of the day! And thanks to Ryan Sidebottom we did!
Was a bit enraging yesterday when the umpires offered Oram and McCollum bad light - SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN OFFERED!!! They were back on the pitch within 5mins!
After the cricket we went to have dinner, we went to a place called Zico's on Courtney Place! I had Veal and Rob had Fish cannelloni. Which was all good, BUT the most exciting thing was that Andrew Strauss walked in and sat at the table next to ours with his wife and REALLY REALLY CUTE CHILD!!! He sounded very nice, and his kid was soooooo cute! Strauss was explaining that he would have to go home on a plane but that 'daddy would follow later'. Was adorable! He s very well dressed as well, nice shoes!
After the awesome excitement of that we decided to go and see Run Fat Boy Run at the cinema, weirdly its only just come out here! I really really enjoyed it! I was actually in tears in one scene, not as much about the scene but at Rob's reaction to it! Basically Dylan Moran's character bursts a huge blister on Simon Peggs foot and Rob literally convulsed and jumped out of his seat when this happened! Was absolutely hilarious!!!! lol!
Today we got up and went down to the cricket! I brought a cap, I'm trying to prevent the sunglass tan marks I'm developing! I also brought a series programme! The end of the match was fantastic, they finally brought Jimmy back into bowl (I think hes a bit injured from the football), plus I finally saw Panesar play well (he has dropped 5 balls this test!) by finishing it off and getting McCollum out!!!
Afterwards we had to wait behind a rope while they were doing the interviews, Rob and I were right at the front and I ask Michael Vaughan for his autograph on my programme (I was the only on on that side that got an autograph!!!), he smiled sooooooo nicely at me! He seems like such a nice man, very nice eyes!
I OFFICIALLY LOVE CRICKET! I feel like this could be expensive, its not cheap to be a cricket fan in England!!!
After meeting Michael Vaughan (I'll just slip that in again there! lol!), we went to the pub! The cricket ended perfectly because we got to actually see a bit of Wellington! We went to Te Papa, The museum of NZ after that! It was really interesting, the exhibits were really good, I think the building was really lovely! After that we wandered through Civic Square which was designed by Ian Athfield. It was really nice, the whole dock area I think is done really well.
After that we went shopping to get me some new flip flops (or thongs as they say here!) cause mine were literally on the brink of completely falling apart!
We then ended up at the pub again, owwww Happy St Patrick's Day everyone!
Finally we headed back to the hostel for Pasta! We're all packed up now, our bus leaves for Rotorua at 8am (arg!) tomorrow morning!!! I'm really excited about Rotorua, although I could very very happily just sit through more cricket! lol! I think Rob might have converted me!
I'll write tomorrow with exciting news of the coach trip! lol!
I hope everyone is really good!
Lots of Love,
Sarah xxx
