We headed back to Wanaka today so that Adam could get up at the jam night tonight. We called at the supermarket on the way back and stocked up on bits for the camper. When we got back and checked in at the campsite we borrowed some push bikes from the campsite, which were free! We drove in to town and parked up by the lake and rode on towards town, having not ridden a bike for a long time it was so uncomfy for me, Adam said that the bikes were rubbish too so that probably didn't help. We rode in to town and called at a cafe for a brew and some nachos, then just rode back on to the camper, Adam went off for 10 minutes or so on his own to see what it was like further around the lake. We took the bikes back to the campsite then made some food and got ready to head out. We thought we'd try get out early and make the most of two for ones in the Water Bar. After the Water Bar we headed round the Fitzpatricks where the jam night was, turned out it was more of an open mic night and it wasn't due to start for a while. We had been told by Sam, the barman in the Water Bar, that there is a cool cocktail bar called La La Land so we decided to go and check that out before the open mic night started. It was really quiet when we got there (we later found out that people tend to go there at the end of the night) I asked for a frozen strawberry daquaris but he couldn't make it so I had a cosmo, Adam wanted something with Amaretto in so the guy made him an Amaretto Sour which was amaretto, cherry liqueur, lime juice and raw egg white in to thicken it up. Adam said it was absolutely delicious, I had a little taste and it was nice just not really my thing! We had another couple of cocktails before heading back to Fitzpatricks. The guy hosting the open mic night was English, he was called Ben and from North London, he was a nice guy, we ended up standing with him and his friends who were all really nice. Adam got up twice and played for about half an hour or so first time and then just a few songs second time. By the end we were both pretty drunk so Adam decided to ask for a gig as they have a 'new music talent' night on a Tuesday. The guy took our number and said he would give us a call tomorrow to let us know. We headed back to the camper and made some soup before bed.
