On the wind down. The boys had the morning off. Most headed for the nearby
Queen Street with its many shopping arcades, and food halls. The boys will find
it difficult to relax when they get home after the hectic schedule they have
followed for the past four weeks. In the afternoon we all headed off to the Go‐
Karting. The boys were divided into groups of four and the frenzied 160 laps of
racing began. The winners were Cormac Dillon, Ronan O’Neachtain, Conor
Browne and Kevyn Mahon. On return we headed for Auckland’s Sky Tower
(Claimed to be the highest in the Southern Hemisphere) where we dined in
comfort with a buffet meal. We must mention that on our arrival in Auckland we
were welcomed to the city by Michael Hickey, a very active member of the Irish
club here in town. The Irish consulate had contacted him, having been tipped off
we were coming, by the embassy in Canberra. He offered to help us out in any
way he could. A bus was provided and paid for to bring us to the Go‐karting
track and it will also be available to us tomorrow. We thank Michael and the
Irish club in Auckland for their kindness and generosity to us.
Thanks for all your comments on the blog.
