Graemes birthday today so got up and gave cards! Checked campervan and the ants are gone so chuckys rucksack was the problem lol! Then headed off early and to an adventure farm park place. Got there as we wanted to do the sky wire! It hard to describe but it's kinda like a big ski chairlift that takess you from once end to the other, over a valley and you go back and forward! It was 3.2 km, four people sat together on it and you dropped 800m! Wow it s so fun! We went on it then were going back towards wheere we started to finish and the guy was like press the black button and ssee how fast you went so graeme went to press it and we went shooting forward again so wwe got a bit of a fright lol! Was very fast but cool! Left there and headed to Picton as we were getting the ferry to wellington. Got to Picton and went for lunch then checked into ferry. Ferry took about 3.5 hours but we managed to sleep and there was a few films on as well which kept us occupied! Got to Wellington at 6pm and had a bit of a rush as the game s at 8.30pm and we had no campsite etc booked! We found one so went in and the campervan bit was fully booked but they also had a motel so we decided just to get that for the night, would save us looking around! The bus into the game was in half an hour so we literally ran around getting ready, didn't even have time to out face paints on! Headed into where the stadium was on this bus and the place was jumping! Argentina people everywhere it was mad! Got settled in the stadium and all ready to go! Was an important game as could decided for quarter finals! We soon learned that the Argentina supporters are so loud and arrogant! They were booing and just not pleasant at all! Oh and i dont know if this is back home but after the first few games the rugby world cup officials banned the bagpipes from all games. So we were sitting and this guy behind us starts playing the bagpipes -ot was awesome everyone was pure singing and cheering and looking at him! He played them a few times then the fun police came up and confiscated them! How boring he wasn't doing any harm! The game was so close, we played pretty good the first half but could have got a few tries. 5 minutes towards the end it was 12-6 to us and we we're like yyyyaaaasssss so happy and rubbing it into the argies but then they got a try and converted, which took it to 13-12! Aw man we were gutted, there was a few attempts to bring it back the last few minutes but nothing worked and sadly the argies got louder and more annoying! So we left the stadium! Met butch ( guy from garnock) outside with his daughter and husband and headed to pub with him for a few beers and to celebrate graemes birthday! so we headed to a pub called chicago and got the drinks in! We also happened to bump into ashlea ( from garnock rugby as well) in the pub! We knew she was heading out and would try and meet up but it was by coincidence that she was in the pub! So we had a great nite dancing and drinking and having lots of fun with everyone! Me and Graeme made it home about 2am then had some birthday cake and think the boys got in at 4am so fun was had by all!
