When we got up on Saturday and headed to the bus to find that paddy 1 and Shayne were walking in from town. They had been out all night and couldn't function a sentence so jumped on the bus not knowing what was going on! We got to the ferry, boarded and found a comfy seat for the next 3 hours. We watched everyones SkyDive DVDs on Laurens laptop. When it came to waking the boys up when we reached Picton, Sofia his gf told us how he can lash out sometimes when he w...

So we then went to check in at Base Backpackers and...
