While a few of guys were buying the male/female towerls I sent mam and email followed by hours at the beach.
The boys were playing touch rugby and myself, Anneka and Amy joined in. It was great! usuallyl I just watch it with papa but i played a little and it made sense. I wanted to go swimming but the water stunk like sewage so I skipped out..
After the game of rugy, we all sat down on the beach for chit chat and beers. Chitty (aka Andrew) and I layed down on the sand and looked at the stars together. He was explaining the difference between comets and asteroids and just some tid bits of info. Tegan joined in on the conversation and we all decided to name The Bright Star TK after eachother of course.
THEN, as we all kept on chatting, I found out that Chitty lives on a farm and has a Pet pig named Pepsi, several cows, and chickens, while Colin has the sheep. I was absolutely amazed! I couldn't stop talking about it and kep on asking questions and amazed everyone (or more like embarrassed myself) by my fascination with cows. While this was all happening, I also saw my first shooting star. It was amazing; went by so quick like a blink of an eye. That night we covered a braod range of topics, and around midnight Uta and I showered then headed to bed.
The next day was gonna be a good one. All I had planned was spendign the day at the beach with Michael. We did need to run some errands such as, buy some sunblock, recharge our phones, buy deodorant and find free Wifi, then of course for our final errand, make our way to the beach. We managed
to do all but recharge our phones, so we figure we leave it be. The beach was PACKED and the best thing about, NUDITY! (well not complete, but topless). I asked Michael if he would feel uncomfortable if I went topless and he said no, which was a relief for me; so for the next 3.5 hours we sunbathed. I drew a cunblock smiley on his back, which actually ended up burning quite badly. We each had a half-assed showers at the beach then walked for an hour to meet with the gang to head to the flamenco evening.
I wnt and sahw flamenco dancing back home and wasn't too impressed but I thought I go anyway. I started to really enjoy it when we began to participate n the show. At one point they called up 5 gals and 5 guys where we played musical dancing with eachother. Ash and I ended up winning. =) Another aweosme moment was when I volunteered myself to go up and dance on stage. Everyone really enjoyed it as did I most importantly. At the very end of the evening everyone was asked to get up to the dance floor and we all danced. Very simple steps, but really fun. We then headed to Port Olympic to party the night away. We bumped into one of Kim's ex-Contiki Crew and he was kind enough to get us in the club for free as well as get us free drinks. It was an awesome night, Tegan was throwing up her sphagetti, Peter was listening in on Kim's, Julia's and my conversatino about underwear, then a group of us played "I Have Never." That evening, we also started a game of push ups if you said the word 'mine' (as in, "who's drink is that? O, that's mine") and by the very end of the evening, i got left behind by myself, without any money, or even the campsite's address. Luckily, Chris, the guy that got us in was able to help me out. He convinced me to get into the cab by myself, told the driver where i needed to go and off I went. It was so nerve racking! I got back to the campsite at about 4:30am and then as I was to my room, I see Uta, Chris, Ash, and Charlie, with Gareth, hanging out at the picnic table. (the people that left me behind) they made excuses, and such that I didnt care for, so instead I took a shower, and decided to pull an all-nighter with Chris, Ash and Uta. We went and played on the swing sets and it was sooooo much fun! I took a ride on the motorcycle while making VROOM VROOM noices, then rode the penguin parrot and just had a blast. I fell asleep at one moment for 15 minutes, went to the cabin to pack my things, and went straight to breakfast for 7am. As soon as my ass his the coach seat, I passed right out on our way to the French Riviera.
