I had a mega sleep in this morning and then a really good shower. I think I managed to be ready to face the day around lunch time. George and I went to this place called the Food Lovers Market for lunch. I have never seen so much amazing food in all my life and after nearly two months in East Africa I was like a kangaroo in the headlights. I ended up getting a massive hamburger with Taziki sauce and an avocado and chicken salad. Yes that's right, Me and salad. George had an epic chicken burger.
We took our food back to the other house the backpackers owns and stuck our feet in the pool and ate our lunch there. It wasn't long before George and I were both in the pool. George actually had his togs, I didn't and went in fully clothed. We walked around the corner back to the backpackers, I had to go out to attempt to source a bus ticket to Vic Falls. The lady selling bus tickets at the shopping centre said there was no such bus, oh well back to the drawing board on that one I thought.
I went back again and at about 6pm remembered the new Twilight movie is now out, I did a quick search on the net to see if this place had a theatre and had a look at the session times and off I went. I had to get money first so I stopped at the ATM opposite the park. A guy came up behind me and tried to "help" me with the ATM, not that I needed it, anyway after telling him to back off several times, the machine eventually ate my card. Absolute nightmare. Realising there was nothing I could do about it, I continued on to the movies and bought my tickets and had to McDonalds for dinner.
The movie was amazing and made me forget about everything for a precious two hours. I have to be able to go to the movies overseas, its like a taste of normalcy in my rather strange but amazing life.
On the way back from the movies, I ran into George, Tara, Kendell, Nic, Callum, Ash, Alana and Scotty. Come to the pub Kris, George said. I turned around and just went OK and joined the large amount of people heading to the pub. That was easy, I head Scotty laugh. I needed a beer after the whole ATM card fiasco, we went into a rather crowded pub which was actually playing alternative music and I was pretty much in my drinking zone. I pulled up a chair at the bar, Ash bough the first round and I began drinking JD and coke for the rest of the night, I even think I progressed onto doubles at one point.
I also found the massive cigar I still had in my bag from Vic Falls and proceeded to smoke it. George kept giggling at me and actually took a picture of me on his phone. Everyone else was dressed up and I had on my 3D tiger short and a pair of old shorts and really needed a shower, I was kind of leaning back on the bar, with a JD and coke in one hand and a cigar in the other, I must have looked a mess, a real bogan.
Eventually, George, Tara and I moved onto the night club upstairs next door. Dancing, exactly what I needed. Tara was really drunk and dancing with just about everyone, and at one point she actually pushed me into dancing with George.
Somehow Ash and I got seperated from the group and ended up getting back at about 3am, where we continued to party at the backpackers even though no one else but Jonah was up. I eventually went to bed at 4:30am, still charging listening to my head phones the party still going on in my head.
