I understand how much
you all have come to love daily updates from members of the Fordham Rams on
their foreign tour, but due to a rough travel schedule, you Ram Fans are stuck
with my musings today. As the Assistant
Sports Information Director assigned to the team, I travel with the girls and
am in charge of all media relations and communications for the Rams. Here’s what we did today.
The view on the way to Hanmer Springs
With only one more day left in Christchurch, the Fordham
Rams certainly made the most of their time.
The morning started off with a workout under the direction
of Administrative Assistant James Hett and Director of Operations/CrossFit
enthusiast Jenna Cosgrove. After the
Rams completed their conditioning, it was time to start the journey to Hanmer
Springs.
Our first stop came as a surprise, as the team was treated
to a tour of a family farm. The family,
a friend of the Rooney’s, showed the Rams around the property filled with
sheep, lambs and an unbelievable view of the countryside.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with Hanmer Springs, the
journey there is almost as breathtaking as the destination itself. Traveling an hour and a half to the north of
Christchurch, the Rams witnessed some of the most beautiful scenery
imaginable. Snow-capped mountains, deep
river valleys and meadows with sheep as far as the eye could see littered the roadway
to Hanmer Springs.
When we arrived, the thermal springs were certainly worth
the trip. Between the water slides and
natural hot tubs, the afternoon was more than we could have asked for. Following a dinner at a local steakhouse, the
Rams traveled back to Christchurch, where one more night awaits them before
taking off for Fiji.
