Sunday morning at the Annerleigh, we had and excellent breakfast and enjoyed our conversation with two other couples who were there from Australia. The velvet chairs were pulled up to the table set with white linen table cloth and pink rosebud china. We had granola, mixed fruit (including kiwi), coffee, juice and wonderful bacon and eggs. The two other couples were headed off on a long bicycle ride for the day in the rain. The Host of the B&B was able to get the NC State game on his projection TV so we were delighted to get to share in the game live. Since we are now living 14 hours ahead of EDT, Sunday morning at 9:00 AM was the start time for the 3:00 Saturday game. It was nice to see our stadium full of enthusiastic supporters. Although State lost the game to #1 ranked FL State, we played an exciting, competitive game that was fun to watch. Maybe they could hear us cheering all the way from New Zealand.
After the football game, We checked out of the B&B and we headed to Hanmer Hot Springs. This is a recreation area built over the natural geothermal hot springs, which included a series of hot sulfur pools, aqua therapy pools, and play space - all with heated water. It was misty and cold when we got there, but we had a great time and tried several pools. My favorite was an aqua therapy pool with hot, jet force streams so strong you could barely stand against them. We were thoroughly relaxed after this, and had a late lunch at the cafe on the property.
