We survived the chaos that was the Waitangi Day Pub Crawl on Saturday and managed to complete our own personal record of 12 hours on the piss.
I dont think I have ever seen that many Kiwis in one place. Ever! They even had to shut down several tube stations due to the sheer volume of drunken Kiwis. Choice!
The most touching moment for me came as we waited to be let into Notting Hill Gate station, there were whispers from the Underground staff that the station would be closed. The NZ crowd broke into a rousing rendition of God Defend NZ (English and Maori versions) and we were finally ushered through the gates. It almost brought a tear to my eye.
The crawl came to a semi-offical close at 4pm as thousands of Kiwis coverged on Westminster to watch our boys perform a co-ordinated group haka. Unfortunately because of the huge crowds we couldnt actually see the haka but we could hear the roar as they launched into the haka not once, but twice.
I will post my photos eventually but for now this website has pics of the carnage.
Doesn't it make you proud to be a New Zealander?
