DAY 9 - NELSON i have no optional activities booked for today so the morning is going to be a lasy one, but i think i deserve it. i managed to get up for breakfast although i think im still drunk so go back to bed until about 1.30. a few of us go into town, get something to eat and spend some time on the internet. good to see ipswich are doing doing well, not. ah well at least southampton are having a bad time too. later on we have a big game of football on the field opposite tthe motel. i start in goal and naturally keep a clean sheet until joony decides to take the goalkeepers role and does a good job too. im sure grabbing players so they cannot run is an illegal play in football jenna, but you americans dont play much soccer so i will let you off. the grass is quite slippy so i spend a lot of time on my ass, i did mange to pop up with a goal though. the game was quite comical in the fact you tended to have a swarm of people around the ball, just like a kids game. nick should stick to rugby as i am sure rugby tackles are also not allowed. the game continued for a while until steves wisdom of playing in bare feet came to haunt him as he tripped on his own feet and broke a toe. off to casulty. game over. with nick taking steve to the hospital that left joony and dave to prepare the bbq, while mandy sorted the rest of the cooking. the pork chops did appear about half an hour earlier than any of the other food, but hey ho. by the time we had finished dinner steve was back with x-rays of his broken toe and his toe in a splint. after dinner a few of us meet over at the smugglers inn again for a few drinks, i was considering an early night but the prospect of a few drinks in town was to good to miss out on. usual suspects again, me, kate, kevin & neil. back to the grumpy mole for drinks and pool. kate and i were at the bar when a local slides his way into the bar, this man had a bad personal hygeine issue, unfortunately for kate his sweaty armpit reasted on her shoulder as he squeezed into the bar area. which was nice. the guy orders his drink then realises he hasnt enough cash to pay for it and leaves. kate is introduced to some new english words, manky and minging. the rest of the night is spent playing doubles at pool. we make sure we leave just before 3 so we can get a taxi with a little more ease than last night. super kevin does it again.
