Day 76 - Chilling out with Dave and Maryann

Today we didn't wake up till 12:00, even then it was to the sound of our phone ringing. Earlier on in the week we had made plans to see Dave and Maryann before our departure to Wanaka tomorrow morning. It was Maryann on the phone to say we could pop over for a bite to eat at 15:30.

Didn't get up to much till then, we watched 'Cool Runnings' with the rest of the guys before heading out. Once we got to Dave and Maryann's home in Frankton again, we were excited to see Scones being cooked by Maryann. They were much appreciated, should keep us filled till the early hours of the morning.

It was great to catch up with them, telling them about our weeks antics and experiences. We said our goodbyes and headed off back to Base at 17:00. We did the usual, stocked up on beer, chilled out with the rest of the guys, Gavin, Shaun and Raymond. At 19:30 we went and played some pool, we're getting good at it now. Unfortunately this evening, Staggie just couldn't do much about his 5-0 losing streak. Chino was certainly on form, will he ever let this go?

This evening we had pre-drinks again, everyone started about 22:30, a group of people. There was more french this evening as well as the same from the previous nights. We got to Buffalo where a few of us had a couple more games of Pool. Staggie and Shaun vs Raymond and Chino. A tough, slow match won by Staggie. A few jagerbombs later, we headed to another club and ended up there for the rest of the evening. A few more drinks and a 'Fergburger' later, we headed back to Base.

Chino went online for a bit and made a couple of calls back at home whilst Staggie and the others headed back to room 316 to watch some 'Family Guy'. Chino got upstairs around 05:00, found Family Guy running with everyone passed out asleep, someone was already sleeping in his bed, so a spare one did the job. Didn't take too long to get to sleep. Another good night, some good memories.
