Day 7 Pix

(Today's photos are in black and white due to the lack of suitable light in the training room.)

Today management finally manage to negotiate the use of a room for the team to train inside the hotel. There wasn’t much room there but they managed to practice patterns, sparring and special techniques at the same time. The session lasted three hours.
Meanwhile the Canada team were training in the car park.

We're all looking forward to the tournament getting underway. Weigh in tomorrow then tournament underway on Thursday (Friday NZ time).

Cheers

After lunch it was decided that the team should have some time-out. We had discovered a large shoe and clothing outlet store only 100 metres from the Hotel. Word got around pretty fast and the team organised an "excursion". The shoe section acts as a magnet.




Outside the store.




I asked Tim to take photos of the shopping as I wasn't going and he insisted in taking a picture of me for today's pictures. So I am working on my laptop in the hotel room.







STOP PRESS!! Mr Jackson has finally found the love of his life. Yes, the team is pleased to announce the marriage of Dan and Rosalea Lopes-Jackson in a rushed ceremony...
