weekend wedding and beach
thursday saw me trying to rest. that didn't happen but i didnt do anything interesting.
Friday we got up early and travelled to the very north of the island. The total distance is only 130kilometers but the traffic and the windy two lane hills means that you can really only travel at 60k per hour max otherwise its too dangerous, so it took four hours to get there. The trip wasn't that bad but was alot different than what you can imagine. Here they have these half ute half open bus things called cabs. There is a two seater cabin in the front but the back has usually a half roof with two long chairs where people sit and then a open tray like a ute where people usually sit too. I sat on the seat but the roof was too tall for me so i was leant over the whole time leaving me with a sore neck. I travelled with my mum whole was in front with my uncle we call tito gary while i was in the back with leewan, and the two girls mattel and aling (sisters).
Once we got to the beach the view was great, i took heaps of photos while we were down here. We ate as usual and set up all our stuff in a large bamboo hut which has two resting areas but we somehow managed to fit in arond twenty people into one room. I slept in the tent after having the best swim in the beach. alot of people went to a hotel resort because they had to get ready for the wedding. But me and kitt stayed back at the beach so we could drink. After alot of stuffing around we got started drinking only to find that the case of beer (red horse very much like VB) had been hacked into by our uncles and they were kind enough to leave us a whole 3 bottles. yay. so we drank them anyway.
We finished the beer and then got to sleep inthe tent. i was awaken about 1/2 hr later by massive storm like winds beating against the tent. This sudden storm came in and rain us out. We waited but and realised that we would get blown away so we made the short dash for the hut. It was about a 3meter dash but in that short time i went from warm and dry to completely saturated and cold. We then took downm the tent in the most unfavourable conditions. which was fun. sleep unfortunately wasn't.
