Neil's Round the World Trip!
I was woken this morning by Wilfred yelling "Neil get up! Brekfast you vill miss out!" (Breki is only available 8.15-9.15) Needless to say I missed breakfast. I ignored his pleas as my sleep was so good however the mercury began to rise and eventually I peeled myself from my sweaty bedsheets! I went to lunch and had some spicy rice. During lunch I spoke to a Swedish-American girl called Linda from California. Her sidekick was a funny guy called Ben from England. They invited me to join them deep-sea fishing with them at 3.30. I agreed and paid Moses (looks like the black American boxing promoter and has a hee hee laugh). We sat waiting for Moses until 4ish and finally he arrives giggling to himself (fiji time). We got on our little boat with a cool Swedish guy called Pete from Stockholm. It was really choppy and waves soaked us through with the spray. We all took turns with 3 different rods. I was the first to get a bite but the fish/shark/reef tore the hook off. I consoled myself with a beer and had a laugh with Linda and the guys. We saw a beautiful sunset that sank below the ocean.
We returned to the hostel with one broken rod, seaweed and new friends. The dinner was fish just to rub in our failure to catch anything.
Later I went to the bar it was a team quiz with the teams arranged into countries or coalitions (if not many people from one country). I walked in late and decided to join team Ireland certainly not England!! We came third but the English came second so we decided to get the drinks in and try and forget we'd been beaten!
We did a great job and were soon playing "Never have I ever" where we got a confession from Roman the Russian.
We all staggered back to our bures at 2am in the dark.
