Saturday, November 7th

We had planned to go to the castle this morning – after Col left for his run at about 8:30 or so Tam text to say we’d aim to leave her place at about 10:30. Cam and I were waiting for col to get back so we could go and have a shower (didn’t want to lock him out!)…we waited….and waited…and waited!!! By about 9:30 I was getting slightly worried but was just thinking he must be having a long run today….by 10 I started to wonder what I should do if he took too much longer, didn’t know which way he went and started thinking the worst LOL. At about quarter past a very puffed Colin arrived back – he had gotten lost!!!! So we decided to leave the castle till tomorrow ‘cos it’s meant to take a few hours to get through and Tam (or Mrs Tams as Cam calls her hehe) had a pre match party this afternoon.

We caught the bus into Tams place again and wandered around the market with her and a couple of her friends before heading into town to have some lunch (or maybe breakfast for them?? I’m not sure hehe) we wandered around but all the pubs and cafes were packed to the max – in the end we went our separate ways and just took cam to McDonalds for lunch and then came back to our campervan for about an hour before the rugby.

Cam was so cute at the rugby – he was majorly into it for the first half – cheering, clapping and yelling (so much that I thought he might lose his voice!) away… he didn’t care which team he was cheering for, just for anyone!!! He had faded a bit by the time the second half rolled around, but still did really well – he loved the Mexican wave and would watch eagerly as it went around the crowd and enthusiastically throw his arms in the air when the time came!! He would notice them before I had!! The walk back to town was amazing – that sounds weird I know, but it was just soooo many people – there was no point getting the bus back to town as the crowd had stopped traffic – as far as we could see ahead of us and as far as we could see behind us was just a sea of people!! It wasn’t a bummer (like it may sound) as the atmosphere was jovial and we were just swept up in the crowd! I guess it took us about an hour or so to get into town, where we stopped for subway before heading home.
