I woke up hungover as anything and feeling really sick. Visiting viewpoint was out of the question for sure. We had only a bit of water but every sip i took would come right back up again. I lay in bee for a good while until Daniel got hungry and dragged me with him to breakers. The walk in the sun wasn't easy and i just kept thinking about bed and sleep. When we arrived at breakers i had to sit facing away from the customers tucking into their fry ups. The smell of the bacon itself was making me gag, even though i was facing away from the tables, right in front of me was a pizza stall but they looked more like ornaments rather than food so i could handle that. Next to the pizza stall is a smoothie and fruit place selling watermelon so i may buy some to attempt to eat as they completely cure my hangovers.
Daniel's food arrived and i wanted to puke, he went for a full english as usual and i just kept thinking how much longer will it take? When he finally finished we paid the bill and i went to the fruit stall to buy watermelon to take back to the room, as well as some water from a shop on the walk back. We chilled for a while in the room and there was no word from sara until she messaged me saying about going to the beach. I said Dan and i would be there at around 14:00 after a rest.
Once i had eaten the watermelon i felt right as rain. I put savlon cream on the cigarette burn on my face to stop any infections although it isn't really that bad. After a little recuperation, we left for the beach at around 14:00 although the sun was hidden behind some clouds; was still really warm though. Instead of setting up shop at a bar we laid our towels out on the sand before getting in the sea. The water didn't look as clear or nice as the other times we'd been but maybe it was because the sun wasn't shining onto it. I swam to the shore and lay half in half out when i saw Sara walking along so called her over. She had left Jenny and Alex back at the room as they were both feeling a little worse for wear.
Sara sat in the sea with me when Dan got out spying on three french guys she had met before, well she met one of them before but she reckons he has ADHD as he always runs off out of nowhere. We had a chat about family back in Egypt and plan a trip to Paris this year in september as she worked in france for a year and speaks fluent french. Plus i haven't really been away on a trip with my girlfriends so would be nice, and my dad should approve. We spoke of different places in france and in egypt and it's like we are the same person with the same family. It's scary how alike our lives are because of our dads. Luckily for her, her dad goes to egypt for half a year every year which gives her and her mum and brother a nice little break! She's from a place called ilckley in yorkshire, well technically bradford but she doesn't tell people that. And her accent is so funny especially when she says "i know!", she reminds me so much of my mum to look at as well as her mannerisms. She has the shearman look. And her friend travelling with her is called alex shearman from kent! Who knows she may be related!
It rained for a while then stopped but the sun never came out so after a while of relaxing and people watching we all headed back to shower and chill out before meeting for dinner. When we got back sara texts me saying that banana bar is showing the film "the beach" at 19:00 so we arranged to meet them outside their place by the big boat at 18:45. We walked up to banana bar and up to the rooftop bar which had a very chilled out squat like decor with dim lights and deck chairs. They were all taken so we all sat around a long rectangular table facing the TV.
We were handed a menu and so i read through it as i rolled a super spliff for us all to smoke. As we were smoking an American came over called Buddy (typical) and asked for a "hit" and after he took a puff he sat down with us next to sara and dan. The girls ordered their food but dan and i waited until we had finished smoking. We both got a mango shake to drink in the mean time which was so refreshing. The film began playing at 19:00 so everyone took their seats. There are three screens in the rooftop bar including two big projectors.
Dan and i ordered food now, i went for a shrimp and avocado baguette with fries and dan went for tuna. We ate and watched the beach, watching it now it's really quite a tacky film, the way it's been created. The beach doesn't look anything like the real beach as the producers have added an extra island to the scene which isn't there in real life. There was a boy in the crows cracking jokes that weren't funny at all which got annoying after a while.
When the food came i was abit disappointed as i expected a prawn mayonnaise type baguette but it was just a bit of mayo with salad and around five sautéed shrimps inside which i didn't eat much of. Once the film had ended we all got up and paid and headed to the beach, buddy came with us. We walked passed the loud music blaring at slinky bar and passed the fire show at woody's, i looked out for Chantelle but couldn't see her, i guess she wasn't working tonight.
We all sat around a small table and the waitress grabbed some more cushions for us. I wasn't going to drink tonight so just had an iced tea as we all watched the fire show and chatted. Tong Alex's love interest was working tonight, as he is every night and we learned that they make all their money from the tip box that gets passed around which is why they all live in tin shacks with a mattress on the floor. We enjoyed the show for a while until we decided to head back and so said goodbye to sara, jenny, alex, buddy and his two friends who were also sat with us. On our way back we got pizza to enjoy when we got in. We had a bedtime smoke and a shower before falling asleep.
