Each weekend seems to get bigger and busier. Quite a different feeling this weekend, now we've reached the knockout stage.
Many of our guests have been here two or three times now, and many more will be with us for the next two weekends, too. Noticeably fewer of them are existing on a shoestring budget - if they could afford tickets to the quarters, semis and finals, then moeny for the rest of it wasn't much of a worry.
The overall feeling is still party mode, but some are starting to look a bit jaded after weeks of travel, drinking and restaurant eating.
Quote of the week from the Argentinians:
Happy night, sad morning.
 |
| Adam from TV One did live weather forecasts from the park on Saturday, with plenty of help from the Argentinians. |
 |
| What else would you do with all this space but play rugby? |
 |
| English Dave and friends enjoying a beer... |
 |
| ...supplied by the friendly folk from The Long Room in Ponsonby. |
 |
| Pretty sure the guy in pink is in costume, but the Scotsman looked like that most of the time. |
 |
| These two were even more cheerful after France vs England game. |
 |
| These guys, not so much. |
 |
| And Sunday morning brought us the Whakatane tourism people with sausages for breakfast for all. |
