An Englishman an Irishman and a Scotsman walk into a bar.......
along with hannah...
having gained free entry and a free sambuca shot cos the lads had met the bar owners brother somewhere in thailand and he said we could get in free etc the five of us got the party started.
the bar was the woolshed, a proper quality place in cairns town centre with a bogof offer on too haha, tooheys beer a plenty for al that night, anyway a good deal of booze started flowin with a bit of banter and the ususal thrown in for good measure, and the compulsory sambuca shots, a good laugh had by all.
as the night got older i got talking to this aussie guy about football, as you do, he was a chelsea fan too hahahaha cos he was half portuguesse so he liked mourhinho and carvalho and appreciated quality when he saw it, unfortunatly he had a big passion for some guy called ronaldo or summit like that at this crappy team he mentioned called man nited or summit, cant all be winners i guess. i also started talkin to this bloke from austria, i never caught his name unfortunatly but he seemed a pretty cool guy, he was older than us tho, think he said he was 29, he was up for whatever we did tho, jumpin straight in.
it was about this time, approx 10/11 pm that we discovered the joys of dancin under the influence, and in the woolshed the only place to dance aint the dancefloor, that was for wusses, the only place for real dancers like me was to get up on the tables in the middle of the club and get funky right there. hannah and the austrian were up for that too and with a little persuasion the scothish guy dave and the irish guy rob got up too. from then on it was partyin on the table all night til closin time at about 3, breifly interupted with trips to the bar and the pool table.
during this period it got quite interesting, and by that i mean hella entertaining!!!! loadsa people kept joining in and going etc, plenty of hot lasses joined in, in fact a couple of lasses, really really hot lasses, i think they were scandiwegian, (hot and blonde and tanned anyway) were so impressed by my dancin skills, mainly the retro mega mix with a little robot shoved in for good measure, got up and joined me for a dance. (haha shows you hump for doubting my skills)
anyway at closin time we all thought it would be a great idea to go for a swim in the lagoon pool opposite our hostel, we got sidetracked on the way tho by a kids playground, and havin had a few more than a few we decided to play on the slide! cos it had been raining the slide was awesome, a fittingly stupid end to the night you would have thought....oh no.... there was still the matter of our by now 3.30 in the mornin swim! strangely the pool security guards were not so enthusiastic and threatened us with arrest if we got in the pool, no lifeguard means no swim unfortunalty, shame. so instead we embarked on a late night sunbathe right there next to the pool under this light haha which lasted til about 5 ish, a good time to go to bed.
next morning was a drama!
we awoke to the sound ''this is a guest announcment, will everybody please evacuate the building immediately, there has been a tsunmai warning!!!!!!!!!''
not the nicest of wake up calls, needles to say me and hannah looked at each other a little bemused/confused/hungover and went to check it out at reception. having checked it out we had to get our mooch on big time as the wave was due in about half an hour and we had not packed!
it all ended up fine tho, we waited at another hostel on the roof for an hour os so then the all clear call came and we got on with gettin to the bus stop for our next trip...... which leads me to my next destination, airlee beach, tthis place is AWESOME, i want to live here! tonight we are goin on a three day cruise to the witsundays for snorkel action, and probs a lil sea sick action from al too, nay mind should be sweeeeet. wll post again after to let you guys no.......
