Round #4 Carlton vs St. Kilda in NZ: Pre Game prognostications

[Baggers]

Weather here today in Wellington just spectacular, with the same predicted tomorrow. Seen a few Saints supporters parading around town today in their full game garb....scarfs and all.....wankers. Whereas the Carlton supporters have been much more subtle about their support. Had David Rhys-Jones, Chris Connolly and Nathan Thompson on my flight. The shuttle bus driver said it'd been non-stop AFL visitors he'd been shuttling all day.

For anyone who hasn't visited (and I hadn't before today) this is one incredibly beautiful city......seriously beautiful.

It's like living in a postcard! Although our stay here might only be a year or so I am gobsmacked at the beauty of Wellington. And you can see the European influence in the architecture of the homes, no square boxes, all Elizabethan/Victorian/Edwardian etc. And the huge harbour, one of the biggest in the southern hemisphere. And when you tell the locals you're an Aussie, they're just so friendly.
