why I wasn't at the Whaka 100k m N-duro ?
Sydney NRL finals
Work won a trip to the NRL finals in Sydney, it was the Stacy Jones / Mad Butcher tour
Jude and I got to go, we flew out at 6:40 am Saturday meaning we had to be at the airport at 4:40 am, the alarm went of a 3am,
arriving in Sydney at 8am we caught the train to central station, we sat down behind a couple who asked us if we knew which station they should get off at for Paddy's market, they were from Auckland ! we at that stage had no idea,
we dropped our bags at our hotel for the weekend and went walk about for the day
the building were amazing, the amount of block work, the size of the building etc.
With the 3hr time gain it made that day about 22hrs long
Sunday was NRL day caught the boat from Darling harbour about 15mins walk from our hotel, which took us up the river to Olympic park, and a bus to the studium
From memory there was about 80,400 in attendance and Manly Sea Eagles thumped the Melbourne Storm 40 nil
On monday we had a look around the Powerhouse Museum
we flew out that afternoon arriving back in Welly just before midnight, so another long day but all in all a great weekend
