I happened to land in Melbourne during the Australian Open and was in Sydney for Australia day… wouldn’t you know I arrive in Wellington for “The Sevens Tournament”. I got some of my photos from the following website. Check it out! www.sevens.co.nz/Wellington .
Regina, the amazing girl I’m staying with (I’ll detail that later) got me a ticket through a friend and casually says “Oh by the way, everyone dresses up in full costume to watch the games”. I had that morning to pull something off (on a travelers budget mind you).
Black outfit came from my backpack.
Bright undergarment was my bathing suit.
I already had the jewelry.
Cat ears and a bow tie- $3
Colorful hair accessories- $2.50
Watching over 12 different countries battle on a rugby field… Priceless!
SOME OF THE FOLLOWING PHOTOS MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR ALL AGES.
The parade reminded me of Mardi GRAS in New Orleans mixed with a high school homecoming for “big kids”.
The costumes!
Found a Raiders fan!
Awh… so sweet.
Awh… So ummm, yeh.
One of my favorites.
No comment…
I saw this “cheering squad” for the USA so I walked the stadium all the way down to the field and with enthusiasm I introduced myself. Please take note of the look on the short haired girl.
None of them were American, Ha! All is fun either way!
The crowds and the game!

Fun to see this sign on the way out.
