Bass lake

After an hours sleep I was still in pretty much the same state as the night before.  I got on the bus, got under my blanket and fell asleep.  We were apparently late leaving as two of the boys, Dan being one didn't get up in time.  He can't remember his night at all. He did Vegas the hangover style.  He only had four drinks so he thinks he may have been ruphied.  The scary thing is the last thing he remembers is talking to me and Liz.  Not really good on our part.  It wasn't us who did it! Haha. He doesn't even know how he got back to his room, he didn't quite make it to bed either he woke up in the bath. Brilliant!! Haha.

I got down and led on the floor after a while.  I was having a good little nap down there until Jack blasted that silly wake up song! I was slightly disorientated. It was our first stop so we had to get off. I got myself some frosties to eat while we were sat in the grass, re-living the night before.  

Back on the bus as we continued with our journey to Bass lake.  It was such a long journey especially with a hangover...not good. We arrived at around 5pm so had a few hours to chill before the pizza party began.

It wasn't going to be a heavy night. Everyone was still recovering from Vegas. So we chilled by the lake with our pizza...a LOT of pizza!! It was yummy. Liz bet Sambo that she could eat more than 4 pieces of pizza. He said he would buy her a drink if she did it.  Well she did 4 and a half (over 4) but she saw no drink. Haha. Sam is not a man of his word.
We were sat there for a good few hours chatting and listening to some of Jacks crazy stories. It was good fun.  It was so quiet and chilled out, we'd gone from one extreme to the other. But it was good to just chill out and get an early night.  It got a bit chilly outside so we all went to bed.  We watched a programme about child beauty queens...was weird.  It's soooo stupid to cover a three year old in fake tan and make them wear false eyelashes and even teeth!  What is up with some of these American women!! Crazy!!

In the middle of the night I was woken up by the sheets moving slowly off me. I turned around and Liz was sat up pulling them towards her as if she was pulling a rope. She pulled it so much she fell straight off the bed!  I was sooo confused...I was like 'what the hell are you doing?' I'm not sure she was even awake when she replied 'I don't know.'. I fell straight back to sleep. But she had a pretty restless night I think.  She Told us she kept having weird sensations that someone was pushing down on her.  She was pretty freaked out by it. Len also had a weird experience, she woke up in the night lying at the foot of the bed by Sophs feet and has no idea how she got there.  We think it may have been a haunted room...haha.

Up bright and early to head off to Yosemite national park for a day of doing absolutely Didley squat! We stopped at tunnel views on the way to get a few snaps and then we got to the park 10 minutes later.  15 people have died at the park this year alone by going the other side of the barriers and falling off the water fall.  Why would you go the wrong side of the barriers?? The barriers are there for a reason...to stop any falling!

We sat by the pool allllllll ddaaaaayyyy taking in the views around(just cliffs pretty much).  Everyone else went to explore the park or do some rafting and we chose to go to the pool haha. We are such great tourists.

We were there so early, the people working there must have thought we were staying at the park so allowed us straight in, when a few of the group came to join us a bit later they were charged $5 dollars to get in haha.  Saved a bit of dollar there haha.  We had a bit of a swim and spent all day in the sun. Was just really nice to have a day of doing b***** all.

We got back to camp at around four. Plenty of time to get ready before dinner.  The four of us got ready and then had a lovely bottle of wine and some snacks out on our balcony(very sophisticated, ha) before joining the group again for some fajhitas and some beer pong! Woooo.

We were all put into teams of two to play a tournament. There were 8 tables so the games began. Me and Liz were on a team and we played Matt and Carly in the first round(our only round). It was an intense game...both our teams were left with one cup each and it went on for a while until Matt got our last cup out!!  I was not on form at all.  I should have been better...I used to play goal shoot in netball, haha. Soph and Jay made it through but only two rounds, Len and Dan were out first round too.  No welsh girls were going to win that tournament!

There were a few tables free as the tournament continued so me and Dan had a few games.  I'm not sure you can actually call them games though...it was all one sided.  He kicked my ass...I won one game(out of 4)...complete and utter fluke but I can still say I won a game. Yay!!!

Next was the club, everyone was up for a good party.  Everyone had recovered.   We pretty much had the club to ourselves. We were loving it. The moves were out(the chicken dance and the leg pump). I shot some pool with Dan, we played doubles against an American couple...we lost. No surprise there haha. The drinks were flowing yet again everyone was in the party mood.  The boys had decided to each buy Jack a pint of beer but everytime they bought it they'd ask the bar lady to add vodka.  Practically spiking his drink. He had no idea. Haha. He was totally bungalowed. He was making some bad ass dance moves on the floor, mainly with Jay who was also smashed! He found a random pink cowboy hat and some beads and was modelling them all night.  I had Sams ray bans on all night...could barely see anything through them they were soooo dark. But I felt cool, although I looked like an absolute idiot haha. Who dances with sunglasses on in a night club?

Soph went to ask for bootylicious by destinys child and managed to spill all the djs water over his equipment...oops. He was not a happy chappy haha. The music still played so the party didn't end!! Yay!  We also did a jäger race...I lost...again! Dan won again! But he was the only boy involved in the race so kinda cheated really, he knew he was going to win from the start haha.

Time went sooooo quickly, before we knew it, it was time to leave.  Danielle and Suz kipped on the sofa bed in our cabin. Us Girlies stayed up chatting for a while before getting some sleep.

Another early start for us before heading to San Fransisco. It's almost time to ride the cable cars...wooo! So excited!

Well our so called chill out time at Bass Lake has come to an end.  Time to head on to the Windy City.  We have strategically packed again so the warm clothes will be making a return, as we've been told it will be quite chilly. Eeeek.

Will hit you up with the happenings of San Fran in a few days y'all! (loving the American twang).

Toodles Hoes

Much love
