Belgium Tattoo Blog - Day 1
We started our trip with a practice together with Te Ahikaaroa Kapa Haka group on Sunday night at STAC before meeting bright and early at Christchurch airport Monday morning.
Our first flight took us to Singapore where we spent Monday evening cooling off in the pool and getting a good nights sleep after a long flight. Tuesday, we braved the heat and humidity, visiting Gardens by the Bay, Marina Bay Sands, and Chinatown before heading back to the airport for our second overnight flight to Amsterdam.
We arrived in Amsterdam on Wednesday morning where we met up with Neryda and headed into Amsterdam Centraal on the train. In much more manageable weather, we visited Anne Frank House and did a canal tour all together. We then split off into groups to explore Amsterdam a bit more. Some of us visited the Van Gogh Museum while others tried out stroop wafels and did a bit of shopping.
We finished our day back at the airport to pick up Ariana, Dani, and Mhairi, collect our luggage and jump on a bus to get to us all to Oostende for a long awaited sleep before our first rehearsals tomorrow!
Signing off,
