Merry Christmas Followers and Readers,
We got woken up at 3am by our pissed up dorm mates this morning!! (ARSEHOLES), I managed to get back to sleep but Vick couldn't so a bad start 😞
Vick then woke me up about 7am to give each other presents, (you can't take the child out of the woman :P ), So we had got an amazing piece of art for our house (when we get it), so we agreed on a $5 dollar limit for presents (I thought $10), Vick got me a sweat band which I need as I am a very sweaty man out here, not made for this humidity!! Also she got be baggy thai pants, so comfy; 3 ferrero roche and an arty christmas card to frame!! I was a lucky boy!!! I got Vick a little handbag...that's what she said it was, and she liked it which was a bonus and I got her these silver feather earrings she had seen another girl wearing and really liked so she was very happy!! (think she was expecting something else but no idea what that would have been 😉 haha)
We
had been given a flier the day before about a restaurant doing a breakfast special of scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and a glass of champagne for about $8 dollars so we headed down and it was really good it was about 9am and most people were already merry!!! I had a chilli and spinach scrambled egg and bloody mary (not massive cheap champagne fan, no I'm not a snob :P )
We had a long walk down the beach but found nothing!!! Its about 2 miles the way we walked to the nearest beach so we gave up!! We headed back to the hostel to have a relax!! We started chatting to a couple, a girl from Germany and a guy from essex, we ended up chatting for ages about travelling, they have been moving around for 21 months now!!! (mental) and then played cluedo with them...come on xmas with no board games is not right!!! Vick won first game and I won the second!!! (we are just too good!!!)
As it was approaching 3pm we had to head down for our Xmas dinner in the Orties Corner bar, this was a stoners
bar where it seemed any drug was available and everyone was on them!!! Us being the sensible people used it to our advantage and blagged a cheaper meal and free wine WOO HOO!! Dinner was amazing prawn cocktail for me and tomato gazpacho soup for Vick (she asked me why it was cold haha). Then it was a three meat roast with Turkey, Duck and Pork, all cooked well with loads of veg, stuffing, roasties and thick gravy!!! Both of us were very happy as we had our first glass of wine (red of course) for ages with it!!! We skipped dessert as we both were stuffed!!!
We got back to the hostel and had a nap on the beach which was amazing as the sunset was breathtaking!!! We had a few rums but both started feeling like shite!!! Vick started feeling gastro like, and I still was with the man flu!! And both a bit home sick as Vick got to speak to her parents and family but I couldn't get a good reception so was a little sad but sure they really enjoyed it!!! Well hope so, I miss George, Edward, Katie, Mum, Dad, Adam,
Gemma and even Shaw!!! And all the rest of you but you are all so numerous!!! I don't want to forget all of Vicks family who we wish as much christmas cheer...Martyn, Sue, Pip, Dave, Mike, Gail, Katie, Nan and Gramps and of course Spicy!!!
We finished our night swimming out into the sea till it was deep enough to just stand but really dark, and then waved our hands and all the plankton light up, it was amazing and so glad i got to share this with Vick it was one of those things that we will always have!! (soppy I know 😞!! )
We then hit the hay as two sick puppies!!! We have a boat trip tomorrow but think we will have to reshedule it for the 27th now!!! Plus we still have to go to our great mate Jess Brabent's brother's bar 'the big easy' tomorrow as well!!! (might get a free beer)!!! haha
Love you all N&V X
