Today we got up and headed to the wharf to get on the ferry over to Manly. We spent the day just walking around and just enjoying the beautiful scenery and ocean. Brad gave the girls a "Down Under Challenge", which was a booklet filled with questions and things they need to do to interact with the local Australians. The girls had so much fun doing this. The parents had the same questions and we had fun talking to people learning a bit about their country and meaning of certain phrases. For the most part everyone was very friendly and the girls had a blast with this challenge.
We left Manly and headed back to Black town for our final games. The girls lost to a great team. This Australian team had two girls that played for their Olympic team in 2008. The pitchers threw hard and our girls just couldn't catch up to it. The girls had a great experience playing some great teams. Something they will never forget.
Our Down Under Challenge this guy gave us lots of information.
