FELIZ NAVIDAD (MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!). I hope everyone is having an amazing Christmas and have been spoilt rotten and gorging themselves on a huge Christmas dinner and loads of chocolates, washed down by mass amounts of alcohol. Its a weird Christmas for me this year as it is the first Christmas away from home and im missing home loads, especially the amazing, all the works Christmas dinner my dad works night and day on, im longing for some of his superb turkey stuffing. Part of me wishes I was home, enjoying a cold beer down the rugby club with my dad then home to enjoy the best Christmas dinner ever, then after stuffing my face id chill out in front of the tv watching classic Christmas reruns, but the other part of me is still shell shocked about being away travelling, that it doesnt really feel like Christmas, just another day of the year.
So this it how my Christmas unfolded....hold onto your Christmas hats as its a blinder....
We left Quito early Christmas morning and was introduced to Frank (or Frankie as the driver likes to call it) our transport for the next 2 months, a huge, bright yellow mercadeze bens bus that can carry 34 passengers, it has affluent travellers written all over it. So we all donned Frankie, all nursing the mother of all hangovers from the crazy night before, and set off for Banos.
We arrived at Banos early afternoon and are staying at a nice little hotel, sharing with another tucan group, 33 of them and ladies they are all young and there are some hotties, so Christmas is looking up. Maybe my stockings will be filled after all, ho, ho, ho!!!
So we all spent Christmas day gorging ourselves on Christmas BBQ pigs roast and mass amounts of alcohol. We had a ball, its the best way to get to know each other, by getting hammered and having a laugh. And what a laugh we had, mainly at the expense of our tour leader. As a tour leader was were excepting someone who was laid back and willing to join in and have fun with us, but who kept a level of professionalism. But our expectations were dashed when we meet our tour leader. Having meet her only the night before we didnt know what to expect but what we got we wanted to give straight back as she spent the first offical day of the tour bossing us about and filling her stomach with mass amounts of punch. So by the time we all sat down for Christmas BBQ she was hammered but continued necking the drinks, until she finally could stand up anymore and was falling about everywhere. She disappeared for about and hour and we all thought she had crawled into her bed but oh no she came stumbing back with cuts all over her face as she had fallen over and cut all of her face. But that wasnt the worst, she there proceeded to tell us that she had not only pissed herself but also s*** herself. Cant you image getting so drunk that you piss and s*** yourself, it must have been her most embarrassing Chrismas eve, and it was not like she could try to forget it the next morning as she had devulged all to us the night before and had the evidence of the drunken night before scarred all over her face with a beauty of a shiner to go with it.
But that didnt spoil our night, it only added to the amusement factor. I was just glad it wasnt me as we all get it bad states, but she definately took the 'tit of the night' award. Im sure during the course of the tour il be getting that award at some point.
So all in all it was a very strange and weird Chrismas but a top Christmas as we all got to know each other and had a real laugh. With the introduction of the notorious 'dice' drinking game we all ended up hammered and not one of us woke the next morning without the hangover from hell.
And ladies, as you all know, its only naughty girls who get their stockings filled, ho, ho, ho!!!
