Hi peoples
Got training over and done with quite early this morning. Went to the pool for light swim then a run before, feeling alright but the shins are giving me bit of grief today.
Slept like a baby last night, but had bit of a sleepwalking disaster and ended up 5min away in the food hall before I relised that it was actually 3.30 in the morning and food wasnt being served yet. looked like a fool when I asked one of the cleaners what the time was!!!
Going to go have a feed now, and have a look around. In the main village square, there are about 100 booths set up representing different countries and activities around their culture, so might go check some of them out. Also we get given about 20 or 30 NZ koru badges, and each nation has one, so might go do a bit of swaping. Some awesome ones out there. Leave for opening ceremony later in the afternoon, which will be pretty cool. Meant to be huge and quite amazing so Ive heard.
