So, after missing out on bringing home the Cricket World Cup against the Aussies (Who had Australian pace bowler Mitchell Starc (Known as the modern day version of famous Pakistani fast bowler Wasim Akram & an apparent heir of Brett Lee (Who was Australia's fastest bowler since the good old days of Dennis Lillee & Geoff Thomson) because Starc knows how to bowl that fast) easily bowled New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum out which proved to be the game changer of the final (And I mean what went wrong for New Zealand to lose a final like this? Because of Starc knocking over Baz with the match ended in a one sided affair therefore that goes to say that the Cricket World Cup returns to Australia (After India (They beat Australia in the quarterfinal, traditional rivals Pakistan in the semifinal & Sri Lanka in the final then 4 years later they qualified on top of Group B but they easily beat Bangladesh (Who famously beat England in Adelaide to book a place in the quarterfinal) in the quarterfinal in Melbourne before losing to the eventual champions Australia in the semifinal in Sydney) won it in 2011 (4 years after Australia last won the Cricket World Cup way back in 2007) against Sri Lanka in the final with a match winning six by captain & man of the match MS Dhoni but it was either Steve Smith or Shane Watson who have scored the winning runs to win by 7 wickets while all rounder James Faulkner was awarded man of the match in the final because he had a brilliant game & it was a fitting farewell for the Australian cricket captain in the form of Michael Clarke as he becomes the 4th different Australian captain to lift the Cricket World Cup trophy after Allan Border (In 1987 (When they beat Ashes rivals England in the final at Eden Gardens in Kolkata (Known as Calcutta at the time) in India including Mike Gatting attempting a sweep shot but he was out caught behind by wicket keeper Greg Dyer off the bowling of the Australian skipper known by his playing nickname of AB which proved to be the turning point), Steve Waugh (1999 in which they demolished Pakistan at Lord's in London in England) & Ricky Ponting (2003 (In which they defeated the Indians at Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg in South Africa) & 2007 (It was revenge of 1996 in which they put Sri Lanka aside at the Kensington Oval in Barbados which is part of the West Indies) & 1 of 3 players to have won the Cricket World Cup 3 times along with Adam Gilchrist & Glenn McGrath) twice) in Melbourne), Nan, Pops and I headed over to the Coromandel for a holiday but 1st we headed over to Rotorua for the night, by staying at Sport of Kings motel and going to Leonardo's Italian for dinner and I had a Carbonara as well as a Tiramisu.
And after spending the night in Rotorua, it was time for us to head over to the Coromandel (Nan took a photo of Wairere falls), when we headed over to Miner's Cottage, our base until ANZAC day but we had a few exciting things over in the Coromandel, including going on a train at Driving Creek with me taking photos during the course of the trip as well as taking a view from the Eyeful Tower, as well as having great lunches over at Umu (I had a satay chicken pizza over there as well as having either French Toast or Pancakes for breakfast) and the Tavern (Where I had pasta which I labeled it as a 5 star meal), but we did take a look at Kennedy Bay including the beach and Marae as well as going to the Coromandel Museum as well as having a look at beach houses and well, I even took a photo of Pops at the old house as well as having a picnic there at either Oamaru or Waitete Bay.
So ANZAC day was upon us so we decided to leave Coromandel by heading over to Taupo for the duration of ANZAC day so we were in Thames because Nan wanted to take a picture of Mural by John Hovell at the back of the hospital before we had lunch at Matamata so off we go again, decided to stop at Tokoroa were we had to fill up the gas before reaching Taupo so here we are because we had to go to the motel which is Catelli's so we had a swim there at the AC Baths so we were confident we had a ANZAC day dinner at Master of Indian restaurant where I had a Tandoori Chicken there then we headed back to our hotel, by watching a Super Rugby game.
So it was our last day here in Taupo because we went to Huka falls by taking so many photos there then had a walk downtown before saying goodbye to Taupo so we headed our way back home via Desert Road because the rest was history.
P.S. Just turned 24 recently, finally got my birthday present from Trade Me so the rest was also history (Although I did not go to Visions for a Scottish meal because I had food poisoning although I only went for a Chinese meal before Nan and Pops went to a funeral).
