We got up and went down stairs and waited in the lobby for a bit. Then we went with a guide to a different resort for breakfast and most of us ate too much. We hung out and wandered around for a bit then we went back to our rooms and did homework.
In the afternoon we went to this great big swimming complex and I spent all my won on the entry fee. We had to wear life jackets and we didn't go on the big slides because the queue was about two hours long! We had lots fun in the wave pool which made great big waves that we tried to body surf and in the extreme river which used waves to move us along.
In the evening we went to the opening ceremony of the climbing competition and had dinner there.

Thursday 26 August
We got up when Wiz's alarm went and got all ready to leave. It wasn't until we were about to head outside that Josh realised it was actually 2:15; Wiz's cell phone had NZ time. So we went back to bed and got up at four.
On the plane I had trouble with vegan meals again and I think I got given vegatarian meals instead of vegan ones. My second meal was covered in cheese but me and the flight atendant managed to sort out a meal with a mixture of the vegan stuff from the vegatarian dish and the vegan stuff from a meat dish.
When we got off the plane we had to wait in a long queue in order to get through customs.
We met up with Mark and got on a bus especially for world cup competitors. We then had a really long bus ride to our accommodation. We had pizza for dinner but I had watermelon and chips instead because the pizzas had cheese on them.

Wednesday 25 August
We got up and ate breakfast. Then we caught a bus to the train station and Chase got told off by a securaty guy for walking on a chain. We took a 50 minute train ride to the Villa Wood climbing ym and climbed there for a while. At the end of our session I practised speed climbing on a copy of the official speed route. When we got back to the hostel we had to get all ready go at 4:15 the next day so we set our alarms to 3:45.

Tuesday 24 August
I got up really early and got to the airport ages before my flight so I could check my bag through to Sydney. We used the spare time to find a photocopier and photocopy the pages I was going to use for homework fom my textbooks so I didn't have to take the textbooks with me. When I got to Auckland I couldn't find the path to the international airport so I caught the bus. I then met up with the others and got given my uniform. Then the others checked in but I didn't because I had checked in through to Sydney in Wellington. We had lunch then went through to secrity and then on to our gate. While we were waiting for our flight James got us to work out what our numbers were and they were:
No.1 Sarah
No.2 Mark (who would join us in Korea)
No.3 Jesse
No.4 Speedy
No.5 Me
No.6 Wiz
No.7 Chase
No.8 Alex
No.9 Josh
No.10 Tayla
No.11 Peanut
What number someone was was based on how many years they had been to the worlds before and then on how old they were. I was called up along with some other people to have my boarding pass swapped for a new one because the planes had changed.
On the plane I didn't have a vegan meal prepared for me because it wasn't pre-orderd but it was ok because someone had ordered a vegatairian meal but changed their mind so I got it.
Once we were in Australia we caught a taxi to our accommodation, Glebe Village Hostel, and unpacked. We then caught a bus to the climbing gym. The gym was massive and really busy. We climbed for a while and had dinner there, and when we got back it was really late.

30 August
We were put in three groups and did a photo rally. It was lots of fun even though our team came last by quite a bit, and we all met at the speed wall while the speed finals were on. Lots of people were still swapping tops and I swapped all my tops!
31 August
We took a train to Paris and were in first class seats. We then flew back home with a 12 hour stop in Singapore airport.
