Our trip to
Cardiff to see the All Blacks play Wales was
organised months ago by Nicol Enterprises Travel Agents (aka Justine, Tenille and Sian). I was hesitant about heading off on a rugby tour, seeing as I couldn’t tell
you if the hooker was fumbling his tackle or not, but I figured that I couldn’t go wrong with a weekend away with a
bunch of kiwis.

We caught
the train on Saturday morning and arrived in wet, cold Cardiff at about noon. We arrived at the hotel and after a late lunch of McDs, the 15 of us settled into
the hotel bar while we waited for our rooms and then for the bus into town.

The afternoon
was pretty miserable and it was getting dark already when we got dropped off near the stadium just after 3. We were heading for a pub to warm up before the 5:30 kick-off, but some sharp-eyed kiwis found something even better
– the Cardiff Indoor Bowling Club! They were offering temporary memberships
for just £1. I was sceptical but we ended up having a ball. The club was full of older men wearing red shirts but everyone was very friendly.
