Day 2: Local TV lead the build-up to tomorrow's 1st match

Day 2: Well I am pleased to blog that the rain has stayed away and the sun has shone all day. After a healthy breakfast overlooking the sea we transferred to the National Stadium for our our full net of the tour. It was a real honour to train in this most impressive venue where a number of international sides have played since the stadium was rebuilt for the 2007 World Cup. The boys looked lively and focussed and seem to be adapting well to the hot and humid conditions. During the practice two local TV stations wanted to know what we were up to and both Mr. Duncan and Mr.Painter were interviewed for tonight's local news. Indeed one company wanted a copy of our itinerary and said they might come and watch! After the session and the coach packed safely (although Mr. Painter left his bag behind!) we headed back to the hotel for a rest and afternoon on the beach. Today's trend has moved from headphones to fishing and Ben Jones insisted on stopping the minibus to buy a fishing rod. The boys really enjoyed fishing off a local jetty in the afternoon and caught a number of small fish. Unfortunately Mr. Painter upset some local children on the beach wearing a particularly worrying pair of speedos! I am sure they will recover Mr. P, don't worry!

PS Mr. Harrison is currently lost, last seen heading off for a walk from the National Stadium. He did promise he would be back for dinner. We will see....
