Cath's departure

Cath, one of the South Africans also on secondment here left on Friday, so we had to celebrate/comiserate this properly!! (her secondment was only three months)

Here's Cath looking happy she's leaving us...

We kicked things off by getting together a posse and heading to a little Italian restaurant. Not a very good italian restaurant though - the waiter starts by announcing that even though he is the waiter, he does not look that old (which was incorrect). I wish I'd got a photo but was freaked out by him quietly asking me which of us girls had a boyfriend and then mysteriously disappearing once the guys showed up!

Here's Cherilyn and South African Claire




And here's Kieran and the back of Cath's head

After dinner we headed off to the ice bar - it has a cold room where the bar and the walls are all ice, and there are statues that are ice too. They give you jackets and gloves and shoes (if you need them)

Here's Ange and I with some frozen fruit dacquiris

Here's Ricketts continuing the trend of the Auckland boys holding handbags...

Here's Kieran in Cologne back in February...

Anyhoo, here's Cherilyn geared up for the ice bar

And here it is! Not as impressive as I expected... kind of just a big fridge...

Here's some of the crew inside the ice bar...

And our frozen glasses - they were made of ice too!!

Here's me with Cath and Ricketts

Here's Kieran, Claire, me and Cath

This guy was H.O.T! Cath loved it :)
