Busy day

I just woke up late. Even sleeping early the night before. But when i got out of my room i saw a very nice whether. Sunny!! So i had breakfast and thought about going somewhere different, just because until that time i had gone anywhere out of the city.

I took some stuffs, as one more jacket, a book, pringles, water, and thought about going to Mission Bay, kind of beach ... When i left the backpacker, started raining. I talked to myself "Go or not?". Then i said "Yes", cos if i don`t go today, i will go never.

I took the Bus at Britomart Station and 10 min later i was already in Mission Bay. Nothing special!!! Some shops, and a really small beach, no waves. The only nice thing there, was the Fountain.

Looking at the map i realized that there were another two "beaches" just next to Mission Bay. Kohimarama Beach and St Heliers Bay. Both the same as Mission Bay. But the first one was just residential place.

Disappointed and missing the beaches from Sydney i came back to the Backpacker.

There i saw and ad: "Flatmate WANTED". I read the ad and it appealed to me. I saved the phone number and went to the room. I relaxed a little while i was waiting for the American guy to call me to watch the gama ALL BLACKS vs. Australia ... Soccer? No!! RUGBY!! lol... But we were going to a bar.

Nothing to do, i sent a SMS to the girl who wanted a Flatmate. And i made an appointment to have a look in the apartment. So i went there, and i liked. Next Wednesday one more moving!!!

Then, i left there and i saw some people wearing clothes of All blacks and Australia. I started to follow them, and there were going to the stadium by train, departing from Britomart Station. Following them i got into the Kingsland station, where is located the EDEN PARK, where the game was. I went to the counter and it was sold out. No more tickets!!!

I thought: "Where are the CAMBISTAS*??"

*People who buy tickets before the game to sell them much more expensive than they are.

Suddenly, i saw one guy selling tickets. How much??? $100 bucks!! This guy was a Cambista!!The normal price was $50!!

Walking a little bit more, i found two guys selling their friends, who didn`t come, for the same price. I bought it for $50!


So i got in... as i have watched a Rugby match, there is nothing special. The only good fact is that they sell beers inside of the Stadium. I stayed there, drinking to keep warm, because was totally freezing, and taking some pictures by my cel phone.


Resuming the game, Australia started winning for 10x0, but All Blacks changed the score and won for 22x16 (I guess!! I couldn`t see very well the placar, as it was really small.)
