It must be time for reverse psychology in who we root for. USWNT are out. Netherlands are out. Japan are out. Really would love to see Australia get to the final.

Our next game is now Sweden, who took out the USWNT versus Spain who took out the Netherlands. Not sure who I want to see go out more at this point. At least now whichever team wins it all will be a first time winner of the Cup so that’s cool.

Wellington overall has been a lovely little city. Incredibly cold but lovely. There’s still some places around town we would’ve loved to check out but time and fatigue kicked in. Time to pack up once again and head for Auckland. Yes my fellow LOTR fans that means Hobbiton!! Perhaps as a coincidence I planned Hobbiton for day 5 while we’re in Middle Earth.
