High Five

DAY 5 – Wednesday

Sightseeing Day!

No bowling – great relief for the bowlers.

Today we had a fantastic ride on the Aquaduck, which is an amphibious vehicle.  

Some of us even drove the thing...

After our tour around Surfers Paradise we took a walk to the beach then had a very filling lunch at Hard Rock Café. Some dropped in to purchase Krispy Kreme Donuts and when we returned to our accommodation, some bowlers slept while others went for a walk in the Botanic Gardens which is directly opposite us.

Dinner was at the Phoenix Chinese Restaurant in Brisbane.

More info coming,

Statsman (AKA Natham)

 

And on the FOURTH day of NATIONALS...

Everyone wished BIRTHDAY BOY – Peet Kerjan a Happy Birthday over an enjoyable breakfast.

The bowlers who bowled their average or over in the series include:
