Starting from the top.... one thing that Shalina forgot to mention in her blog was the swimming!! As there was quite a large group of us that already knew each other from the hostel i knew the night was going to be an unforgettable one. When we got back from the caves the tour guide asked everyone if they wanted a swim. He expected everyone to say no as it is winter here in Vietnam after all, oh no! There was a definate answer of yes, therefore we then all rushed to get changed. Unfortunatly or fortunatly (depending the way you look at it) Shalina didnt have a bikini with her so she didnt take part. Me on the other hand thought that it just had to be done...... therefore we all jumped of the highest point of the deck into the FREEZING waters below! I couldnt get back onto the boat quick enough, but of course the guys that we were with who were from Denmark had to be manly and go again! Definatly glad i did it as i was never going to have the chance again, anyway after we dried off the drinking started.....
After having a few drinks on our boat, we soon discovered that the other boat containing the other people from our group was next to us. Therefore we thought it was a great decidion to become pirates and attempt to board their boat! For the greater good of international relations, but also to see what their boat was like.
We soon discovered that climbing from one boat to another at night time, after a few drinks and following a Danish guy was not one of our greater moments! It took us about 30 mins of climbing up the back end of their boat to find out we could simply walk through the kitchen!!! Word of advice never follow a Christiano Ronaldo lookalike from Denmark attempting to board another vessel!
We soon made it up to the other boat, to find Vietnamise karoke in full swing! so we joined the party. It was all going so well untill we discovered the danes and the english have identical senses of humor at the result of two americans at the table. Who we proceeded to offend in every shape possible, i swear americans seriously just DONT get irony at all!!!!!!!!!I have never laughed so much in my life, my face was aching and i was in tears! So we made some friends for life there. After they had left their own boat and gone to bed, it was just our group left on their boat, unable to pay for own drinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Therefore as a result the bar was raided, the vodka drunk (by one of the Danes) and a hell of alot of beer consumed. Then we went onto making our own drinks which definatly reminded me of uni :).
After many more drinks, 2 of the danish guys decided to do a bit more swimming and jumped of the top of the boat back into the freezing sea! In the pitch black and heavily under the influence!This would have been fine but they soon discovered that there was no way back onto the boat! after much confusion and laughing, they found a way up by literally climbing up the side of the boat where people were sleeping! It was at this point we were told to leave the boat and return to our own :)
It was back to bed for everyone, after we made sure all of our group had made the return journey in one piece. Only to find in the morning the americans had joined our boat and refused to talk to anyone! classic anglo american relations will never be the same :)
