Betting on the Queen's Birthday
I wandered this morning looking for activities specific to the Queen's Birthday. Not much. I heard the cathedral bells ringing but arrived at the square too late. I stopped by the Holy Grail, the largest sports bar in Christchurch, to watch the second half of the Brazil-All Whites match. Brazil dominated but that was to be expected. I was inspired to head next door to the sports book and bet on the World Cup. I have action on the USA winning Group E, Ballack winning the Golden Boot, and the Netherlands winning it all. I figure that it will be almost like home games for the Netherlands so I will be rooting with thousands of people in the stands as I watch on TV. Go Orange!
