5th June
I was asked to deliver a kitten to some people up in Townsville - so I had this little guy in my office keeping me company during the afternoon....
Always good when you can go on a road trip and find diet coke with Vanilla... mmmmm vanilla.....
We're on our way...
only 737km to go!
Oh yeah, and I started the trip sick... I was a bit concerned that I was going to be sick for the entire tournament - but it seemed to only last a day or two....
We stopped for dinner.... and to feed the kitten and let him out for a bit of a play....
We got into Townsville around midnight and then stayed up til about 2am chatting with Graeme & Tipsy Moo....
We checked into our hotel room the following day... these were fantastic... full kitchen and three bedrooms - so we had 8 of us in the one apartment and the rest of our mob was upstairs in a matching room...
Menace's bed was in the wardrobe... we made Harry Potter references for her for the entire trip....
We met up with Solicit Whore & Tits at Maccas when we were dropping in on our way home from setting up on the first day....
Caffeine addiction sorted for day 1

The team watching games...

Got my tag!
(we had to wear this every day to get into the rink - else we'd have to pay for a spectators pass)
Solicit

Gear airing after day 1
More coffee!!!!
Sledge Hammer
(this guy is a ref with Townsville - but I believe he must be fairly green as he was not on skates for the entire time and manned the skaters door.... he was lovely)
Hogsbreath dinner!
(a derby trip is complete once you've all gone to hogsbreath!)
Bout Pics:
The Drive Home!
I have never been SO happy to get in the car and drive home... that was an extremely exhausting experience... though, very excited about being able to do it all again in two years.....
The Giant Mango!
(apparently the most exciting part of going through Bowen!)
