Pirate party...

17/6/11

Sasha and I completed our final dive and James successfully completed his fish identification course during our dive together. James could not have cared less about fish ID but never the less he enjoyed his dive. We are now officially open water divers (me) and advanced open water diver. We even have a card to prove it!

The afternoon was spent preparing for a pirate party that the guys from the dive shop had invited us to. Being short of a project I throw myself into the preparation organising a number of people to draw pictures of guns swords monkeys and parrots onto cardboard which we then cut out and could in. Four hours later we had a pleasingly large pile of props for our night out.

After James ‘night dive we retired to our rooms to begin the transformation into our pirate attire. We sported to eye patches, 2 swords, a parrot and a monkey between us along with a false moustache for me (nearly 30 and not able to grow my own!). Being firmly in travel mode we had a nap as well and joined the party at 1030. This was by no means late as we were out with two Spaniards, a sweed and a random selection of people from the rest of the world. Time keeping it would seem appears to be particular to the British and Germans.

At the fashionably late time of midnight we all sauntered down to the pirate party on the beach. Lubricated with several bottles of monkey juice (a sprit like rum that we bought illegally as alcohol is banned on the island)we danced and chatted the night away. Feeling tired we retied and to our amassment we had partied until 3.30. So unlike us but rather a lot of fun!
