The guys and girls were on separate itineraries today. The girls were wheels up from Greymouth at 7:30am as they had a game scheduled in Picton at 6pm. The guys got the opportunity to sleep in because three of the vans needed mechanical work and wouldn’t be ready until late morning. Car problems seemed to be the theme of the day today as one of the girls vans broke down in Nelson because someone decided to fill up the unleaded fuel tank with diesel gasoline. The guys ran into car troubles as well just outside of Reefton when one of the vans got a flat tire.
Unfortunately for us, the closest mechanic didn’t have the proper tools and tires to fix the flat and instead we were stuck on the side of the road for a couple hours. To pass the time we threw rocks at signs until that got boring.
When all was said and done we found a 16-passenger shuttle to drive us to Picton; we ended up leaving the van in Reefton. The guys arrived three hours later and ended up missing the girls match against Central Rugby Football Club. The final score was 17-8, and from what I heard the girls put up a great fight. They definitely played with a lot of heart and improved off of their last fixture against the University of Canterbury.
Our schedule for tomorrow is check-out at 10am from our hostel and then we are heading on the ferry at 1pm to Wellington for our last two nights in New Zealand.
