Today was the day we went to the famous Castaway island in Halong Bay! We were picked up from Vietnam backpacks and got a coach for two hours, we then got a small boat which took us to another island whereby a minivan picked us all up!
There was a good group of us, on the way there Sarah and I got talking to an American pair called Eddie and Alex, Eddie was a bird Watcher and Alex was a geologist so he studied rocks! They were an interesting pair and very loudly spoken!
We then boarded the Castaway boat which took us through Halong Bay to the island! As we arrived, we were greeted by the other castaways on the island, they were leaving the next day! We then had a Welcome lunch where they told us the rules and what the plan was for the next few days. Whenever we went to get food, they had a ladies first rule- it was great haha!
We were then given our rooms, Sarah and I were in a bunk bed right at the end with the balcony, was the best room in the house! We were on the top floor and was only sharing with boys!! The Argentinian boys were sooooo loud!
Sarah had a nap as she wasn’t feeling to great and I went down to the beach to chill with the Canadian girls! It was so relaxing in Halong Bay and the views were just amazing!!!
We then had dinner where we were told about the drinking rules. You couldn’t hold your drink with your right hand and you couldn’t say the words ‘mine’! If you did you would have to give 10 press-ups! I was caught out a few times!
Sarah was I’ll so she didn’t drink that night! We played Beer pong and other drinking games in the evening! The alcohol was definitely watered down, so I started to drink beer! The DJ was good and was playing all the classics!
Creepy Alex started coming onto me that night and would not leave me alone, in an innocent way! I had to tell him that he needed to give me space as he was making me feel so costraphobic and I just wanted to dance!
That night I had Hugs with Alex then Woke up to Eddie peeing through the slats of the balcony! I had a big panic as i thought he was peeing on my clothes!!
