Day 5 - Tuesday 30th March - Taupo




The girls ended last night with a relaxing four hours of team bonding (which did not include a 7 hour hike) but did include group massages, ANZ championship matches and hair braiding.

The morning we enjoyed a well-needed sleep-in, mae our own breakfast and laughed at Courtney, Mel, Nikki and Kirsten, wondering why there was a bowl of mince at their front door. We drove through town and had one of our best training sessions to date, with us all gelling together as a team, working on court play and played awesome games.

After our training we hoped on the bus and had an enjoyable trip singing Bon Jovi songs to Huka Falls and Aratiatia. We saw the waterfalls, the water gates to the dam opening, Mr Riggall's bad parking skills and the team finished with an icebath in the lake streams.

Following another short drive and a speed change, we headed into town for an afternoon of lunch and shopping. After a massive walk to get fish & chips, we discovered the shop was closed today!!!!! Instead, we had chip sandwiches, fed the birds and had the rest of the afternoon for shopping and free time.

Tonight we are looking forward to cooking another dinner for ourselves - but we don't want to leave this place!!!
