West Ham United midfielder Mark Noble enjoyed their time in New Zealand.
Noble would love to have stayed longer to enjoy the many natural delights that the Land of the Long White Cloud has to offer.
"I've really enjoyed it and it's a shame we didn't have more time to see a lot more of New Zealand," said Noble to whufc.com. "We have had a lot of media commitments and events to go to, such as a lunch with the British High Commissioner, so we haven't had that much time to go out and see everything.
"We went to see the Weta Workshop and Park Road Post Production, where they make all the films, and that was really good.
"The people have greeted us and treated us unbelievably, like stars, and we've been looked after well. We've met an amazing amount of fans who have moved here years and years ago from the East End and it's great to see that they have stuck with the Club.
"It's been really nice to visit what is a beautiful country, and it's just a shame we've not had a chance to see and enjoy more of it. It's a lovely place and I've enjoyed my time here."
