Our first relaxed morning for the tour - those who needed to get washing or banking done got help at 10am, whilst others slept in - us meeting only at 11.30am to board the buses and head for the RBC center yet again, this time to watch the Carolina Hurricanes play the Atlanta Thrashers in Ice Hockey. It was great to get the opportunity to go down to 'ice level' to watch the teams warm up before the game began, and a few of our group made the venture down to the front row after the first period to fill some empty seats. The game was fabulous, and we all enjoyed not only the spectacle on the ice but the wonderful entertainment throughout all the breaks. The game ended in a draw - and the sudden death overtime saw Carolina score and take the win. At the end of the game they invited any of the kids in the crowd who wanted to go down to the ice to take a shot at goal, and many of our group took that opportunity!
From there we headed off for our first shot at outlet shopping. Whilst it was a long drive, many people did quite a bit of damage to their cash reserves, buying clothes and shoes, watches and underwear, and much more.
Back to the Golden Corral again for a dinner buffet, a most amazing feed, and then to the hotel just after 9pm to get much needed packing done in preparation for our trip to Charlotte in the morning.
