Last week was spent getting used to the world of anaesthesia. Nice to be back in it and a much slower pace than ICU - think I will enjoy it. The week started out well with a visit from the All Blacks to the kiddies ward. Naturally we had to muscle in on the action, managed to get a good piccy of Si and Richie but unfortunately his camera decided to go on a spaz attack when trying to get a pic of me and him - oh well still got to chat to him (and he put his hand on my shoulder!!)
The weekend started well with the news that we had got tickets to all the Auckland and Hamilton matches in the world cup 2011.
So excited now - would have been a blow if we had missed out considering thats the reason we are staying so long.
The weekend was spent in Hamilton with a string of nights out organised. On Friday night there was a fancy dress leaving party for a few of the Brits, with a British themed party. Quite a drunken affair and a great night. Saturday we went house hunting, after finding out that our current landlords are going to sell our place - quite successful and hopefully we'll get it. In the afternoon James joined us and we went to play a game of tennis but only lasted about half an hour before the rain stopped us.
Saturday night we went to the Wales v All Blacks match (supporting the All Blacks of course) AMAZING pre-match entertainment with the best pyrotechnics. Was an amazing atmosphere but have seen better matches (first half was good) After the match we hit the town, which ended up being another heavy night.
Sunday we headed up to Auckland to see Katie Brodie who is hanging out with Gem at the moment, whilst flying to and from the Pacific Islands on route back to England. Had a great day playing tennis with her, Si and James before having a quick dinner and heading back to Hamilton.
