Augsburg

On Saturday the rest of the NZ Team arrived into Munich Airport and met by the coaching staff. Everyone looked a mix between excited and tired following the flight. Malcolm and Anna soon joined up with the rest of the U23 team whilst the juniors headed off to Slovenia. After a couple of sessions at the Eis cannel and a lot of sleep they looked to be getting into the european environment.
Yesterday we decided to head out for a Team Dinner, we all thought that it would be 'rude not to' go to a local german beer house for a traditional meal. 

Today Anna, Shaun, Ben and I headed into town to check out the local sights. A tour around the church, a run up the tower and a walk through the town was a great way to spend the afternoon. Shaun did his usual shopping tour and introduced Anna to H&M. A very light load for his normal spree, with one item each (at bargain prices though).  Shortly after that we were back down to the course for another session. Annas boat should turn up on Wednesday, Other than that everything is going well and with the World Cup just under a week away the course is slowly transforming into and event site with banners, beer carts, and of course a large influx of paddlers.
