Opening Ceremony

Last night was the first night of competition and what a night it was. The fun started when we were waiting for the bus transfer and old eagle eyes [that's me] spotted the Welsh team bus and we had a very close time when it came to taking the dragon, we settled for a photo. The opening ceremony was awesome, except for some whingers behind us. Unfortunately they are staying here with us and what a pack of moaners. Nothing was good enough, but we set about enjoying ourselves to the max.

The parade of teams and entertainment was just the thing to get us into the mood for the first game. New Zealand vs Malawi. The Silver Ferns did their very slick warm-up but the Malawi girls did more of a dance and it got the crowd going. Unfortunately the game didn't go their way but fortunately for me Vicki Wilson was sitting next to me, across the aisle, but next to me nonetheless. Vicki will be giving her opinion today on the team names and Bosom Buddy and I are off to enjoy the first full day of competition. First up is South Africa vs Malaysia and later we will see Botswana debut at the World Cup Championships. We will be barracking for Wales as they have the Dragon.
