Flip Floppery

    Thursday, November 19

    In our happiness from the bike ride we`d actually gone for a drink on the night of arrival (actually quite a few drinks) We`d been told of a place that did a home brew for 3000 dong.... and considering one pound is 30`000 the news of this had sent my liver quivering in fear. And rightly so. Before the night was done we had a table of 20 people drinking together and i`d somehow at the mention of it being one of the girls birthdays, that we should have a party, and not just a normal party but a fancy dress party, and on top of that i promised cake. You know, as you do!
    The day after we woke at 1 i think, it took another two hours to face breakfast and then another 2 to rent bikes, and by the time we`d gotten anywhere realised we had to get costumes, get changed and get out by 8. So that left us precisely no time to do anything else. I`ll let facebook tell the story of that night but it went something along the lines of Bar, Bar, Beach, Bar and ended with me with no shorts sat on the rear carriage that a bike was pulling, with just Will, being taken home. I`d somehow managed to keep hold of what was the prop of the night, the helmet to my fancy dress had been grafted by everyone and ended up being worn by the entire crowd and a few sneaky attempts to steal it by some. The following day and i was back to hangover central, it was the best "full on" night out of the trip though so i was less resentful about this one. We did mange to get on bikes and make it to the beach this time though. Oh i also picked up my shirts and shorts, i forgot to mention that! The first day, we all went and got tailor made clothes done. I was thinking a suit but opted for grey tartan shorts and a white shirt.
    That night we donned our new clothes and went out for a couple of sophisticated, happy hour, g & t`s.



    6`o clock and the alarm goes, We`re off to Na Trang tonight, but wanted to do a day trip to My son before leaving. Their considered to be Cambodia's Angkor wot, which after seeing them doesn`t bode well for Cambodia. No that`s harsh they where`t that bad, i think i was probably the biggest supporter of them in the group, but i wasn`t exactly taken aback by them. Will dubbed them quite possibly the worst ruins he`s ever seen, and in his own words "he`s been to turkey". The highlight of the day was actually when my flip flop got washed downstream and then watching Pascal jump in after it, saving it from absolute oblivion.
