It was time to say farewell to our hosts at Paraparaumu college this morning after a light training session. Training was harder for some than others, as was the saying goodbye, as some of the boys had been working tirelessly at developing international relations with certain members of the college (netball team)!
We staked our claim to the majority of the top deck of the ferry from Wellington to Picton, and were glad that the strong winds of the previous day had subsided, as it made for a calm crossing. The ferry journey was not only a means of travelling from the North to the South Island, but an absoulutely unforgetable cruise through some of the most picturesque scenary that you could hope to see. Having left the rolling green hills of the North Island, we are now surrounded by much more imposing mountains, many capped with snow, and still only a taster of what is still to come as we travel further south.
We arrived at Nayland College in Nelson in the evening to meet our new hosts, and tucked in for an early night in preparation for the next game the following day.
George Smith's Sister, Izzy who is part of the group of supporters here with us in New Zealand celebrated her 18th birthday today, was also looking forward to a great night to follow an amazing day.
