Westport & Lake Mahinapua

After having another night on the sauce myself and Ali decided that after our speedy hike we would go for a run to continue the routine. We checked into the Hostel while some of the bus went out on a jet boat that was supposed to be the best in the country but the guys said it wasn't worth the money. We got a great deal with the hostel as our group of 8 got a separate unit with it's own kitchen, lounge and dining area!

After the run we started dinner of chili con carne which turned out really well with Noelle making the best rice I've ever had, it melted in your mouth. I'm gonna get her to teach me!

That evening a few of the guys went off to the pub and managed to get free pitchers of beer from this crazy brewery owner who has a brand of beer called 'Good Bastard'. I missed out as I didn't think my liver could stand another hammering so I stayed in with MC and Noelle.

The next day we left for Lake Mahinapua but stopped about 200 yards from the hostel to visit the crazy brewery owner who was filming a TV ad for his beer so more free beer flowed and this was at 9am!

Tonight was the night for the fancy dress party, the theme being to dress as anything starting with the letter P, I decided to go as a Pikey and bought a suitably naff shirt and a nasty pair of cheap tracksuit bottoms which I would tuck into some white socks I borrowed. MC went as a Prostitute, Ali a Puff, Matt as Phantom of the Opera, Noelle a Pink Princess, Darren a Pirate and Ash just dressed in Pink, he owned nearly all his clothes already which is a little worrying. He is a legend though and have never met such a posh person before, he can drink like a trooper though, totally mental.

Amongst the other outfits were, Presents, a Pina Colada, Pimps, a Pyromaniac, Peasant, Protester and Papa Lazarou from League of gentleman which was a really good effort and won the best costume, such a shame that the guy who won it is a complete tosser!
