NZ wins race #2!

The second day we again traveled to the Port for round 2 where we helped cheer on the Kiwis to a victory. We stayed at the Port until dinner walking around checking out the sights. The day does not follow the same rhythm that you would see in the US. As tourist we are even a little more off the normal schedule everyone seems to follow. We tend to rise around 9 or 10 for breakfast and then sometimes there is a lunch around noon or 1 but tapas follows in the late afternoon between 3-5pm I would say. We seem to get hungry around 6ish which has proved to be a very bad time to find anyone willing to serve us a snack. The reason you eat a snack so late is because restaurants don’t even open their doors and start taking reservations until 9pm. Dinner doesn’t end until 11 or midnight where the locals will then go to their disco clubs and we of course wander back home and finish up the night. When we found a place at the Port for some tapas and to wait for our dinner reservations we found out that it is best to avoid bars where there are a lot of Kiwis celebrating the victory of the day. Don’t get me wrong, the Kiwis are fun but this day it seemed they had drank the bar out of all the beer! Good times.
