Sevens Weekend

No once but twice this weekend I went into town without a camera. A mistake for which you will all suffer or not - depending on your outlook. It was Sevens weekend in Wellington an annual event which injects $10 million into the city. Most of which of which I suspect was spent on eating and drinking.

It's a bizarre event where the spectators seem to dominate the headlines, for one reason only - their wacky dress sense! Everyone seems to get dressed up to go to watch this rugby event. You're the odd one out if you are not in costume. So, wandering around town on Friday morning I met groups of doctors, mexicans, naked chefs ( I kid you not!) etc. It was quite a sight when you haven't a clue what's going on. A quick read of the Dominion Post and I was in the picture.

We enquired about tickets for the 2nd day but apparently these tickets sell out within hours and went on sale some months ago. We'll have to leave the rugby for another day but not be be totally left out we did participate in a little eating and drinking! There's some pics here.
