I’m getting grief from Tom for not pulling my weight on the
old blog, but I’m working away behind the scenes, honest...
So it falls to me to tell you about the non-rugby parts of the
trip (there are some).
Monday saw us braving the terrible weather to go to the Auckland
Museum. For me, the most amazing things were the reconstructed Moa and the huge
Ammonite fossil. There are also interesting displays of Maori culture and a
memorial to those who died in various wars.
After all that learning we needed some food, so went and had
lunch at a rather odd Italian- Chinese fusion restaurant on Wyndam Wharf. I had
a HUGE bowl of green-lipped mussels
which were awesome.
We drove along the coast in the rain and looked at some of
the lovely architecture and scenery. We’ll go back there when the weather
improves.
Although we had tickets for a gig at the Cloud in the
evening, a night of wine, cheese and repeats of Californication was much more
attractive.
