St Goar is a quiet town, only inhabits around 50 people and sits in the Rhine Valley. We were taken to a small stein making place. Let me correct myself, the town was small, but this was the largest stein store in Germany (I think). Of course, being a tourist and a beer drinker, I had to purchase one. I had also began a habit of buying a shot glass in each city, although I think this covers St Goar.
We all had dinner and headed to the bar for a few drinks before bed, some people still extremely hungover from the night of space cakes, alcohol and sex shows. Of course, when you are in Europe, with people you are just getting to know, a few quiet drinks do not exist.
I was the first victim to the game of life, unlike "The Game" which was taught to many people and lost many times after a 5 month winning streak. Although obviously I just lost again now, and I'm sorry for making you lose too.
The Game of Life is simple. If you say the word "mine" you need to do ten pushups exactly where you are and on the ninth pushup do a clap. Sometimes it was easy, for example "Whose drink is this?" or "whose ipod is that?". Sometimes it was harder. "who is the female main character in Harry Potter?" Steve managed to get half the bus when he put on Guns N Roses "Sweet Child of Mine" and he turned down the song when we got to mine. Although with half the bus needing to do pushups and limited space meant we just by passed it.
We were introduced to Feiglings. Hard to explain.....it was a shot in a bottle, not quite as strong as most spirits and was like a sweet liquor. 30€ would buy you 50 of them. As a group we got through 500 or so, I think (considering we have around 50 people, and not all of them were drinking, it's a fair effort.) Nothing like the group who hold the record of 2250. With about 50 of them, that's 45 each, if they were all drinking. That group had 17 people in hospital the next day, the price of setting a record. Anyway, after you do the shot, you spit the lid at a birdhouse behind the bar and get a free drink if you get it in the birdhouse. As far as I know only one person succeeded at this out of 500 attempts.
It was a great night, although I'm sure the memories were a bit hazy in the morning. Couldn't tell you what time we all got to bed.
