Three games on the foreign tour are in the books. Junior forward Liz Milner recaps the day's highlights below.
This morning we had breakfast in the town of Christchurch,
and we walked around the town to see the destruction that the recent earthquakes
had caused. It was sad to see the area so devastated by the disasters, however,
it is evident that the people of Christchurch have stayed optimistic and are
working to rebuild the area.
After breakfast, we took multiple small planes over
Christchurch. The pilot let me set the plane for take-off. I had no idea how
hard it is to steer a plane during takeoff. The views were amazing, and I have
always wanted to learn to fly. Since Taryn and I both helped pilot the planes,
we have now completed our introductory flight lessons towards becoming
certified pilots!
We had team meal at a good Italian restaurant, and then we
drove to the gym for our game. We got to watch two teams play netball before
our game started, and then we got to play a fun game in Erin’s home town. It
was amazing to see the whole crowd come to watch Erin return to her home! Everyone
had a good game, and we met with the other team and had food with them after.
We’re excited for tomorrow, when we’ll head to the Hanmer
Hot Springs!
