NZ : Day 9 (last)
we left the lodge early. i was afraid that i might get lost when reading the map. the plane wont wait for us. hence, better be early than late. we dropped the rest at the airport before driving the car back to the car rental office. final mileage, we have travelled about 1500km throught the 8 days.
at the airport, there was a BIG group of young boys. many families were there to send them off.
we didnt pay attention to them. 6 of us stood in front of this "made in new zealand shop" to take pictures. and then we noticed the boys started to group behind us. we turned around and we saw the whole big group behind us, smiling and jumping around, trying to be IN our picture!
and the family members started to group in front of us. we were trapped in between the boys & their families! cameras started clicking. and then we realised that they wanted to take group photo and we were in their way! faster moved out.. and we have to squeeze out from the circle of families.
#1 : the young boys of nz
when we were going through immigration, we bumped into the boys again. we were curious. some said they were netball players. i was like HUH! YOU MUST BE KIDDING ME. netball? so, we asked them ourselves. rubgy, they said. and they were going to japan, representing their country. wah! junior all blacks rupanya. and silly us for not taking photos with them when we were outside earlier. Wasted!!!!
so, we made a plan, to "ambush" them when we have passed the immigration. we saw some of them waiting for the other players. we just approached them and asked to have a group photo with them. the manager of the team who was there said,"there are more players coming. do you want to wait for them? these are the "smaller" players. wait till you see the BIG players. they are coming". we were not in a rush, so we waited. and the group grew bigger. and bigger.
#2 : waiting for the rest of the players
#3 : us & the boys. we got almost all of them in the picture above. hahaha!
