Netball at last

Well, today's the day! We finally get to see a game of netball tonight - Malawi and New Zealand. This morning we had a good breakfast and then boarded the hop-on, hop-off bus, first stop the Auckland Museum. It was absolutely fantastic. Filled with an enormous amount of Maori culture. Everything the Maoris had was covered with carving - war canoes, whares, tools, spears and many other things. We went to the auditorium at the museum and were treated to Maori dancing, singing, stick throwing and a poi exhibition. Nearly everything seemed to be connected to warfare in one way or another. Now they carry the warfare on on the sporting fields. Hope they get defeated!!!!!
I"ll get off now. See you later.
