Airley Beach one last time

Okay... it has been a while since I have both written or actually experienced this day... so I will keep it brief.

Boat landed... hmmm, I think I mean docked at about noon. I went to try and change hostels to Magnums- when I walked into the front desk my Irish boys were there... I may have had an unlucky time sailing... but I was back on land which seems to do me well! Unfortunately the hostel was full so I had to return to my bed bug den.

The lagoon was the plan, was gonna meet the boys there... but as I was getting ready, the rain came again. Doh! I walked over to the Internet cafe to write to all of you guys... when who do I see yet again, Keith. Aussie is interesting you really do bump into the same people everywhere... but this was starting to feel like fatal attraction and it was me that seemed like the stalker! hahaha. All was good though, thankfully they didn't think that! We chilled all day with some beers and into dinner. We had a really nice Thai meal. These guys just had me laughing the whole time. Paddy, he was a pro football (soccer) player in Ireland was beet red from all the spice... he looked like fire was coming out of his nose- it was really funny. Ed had me laughing the whole time because I couldn't understand barely anything he said... he has one thick accent!

We went to some bars afterward. We were actually headed to Beaches, one of the bars on the strip where my boat was meeting for a final drink together. The one person I DID NOT want to see was sitting at the table... damn snobby, shrimp eating hippie! Rob was sitting with my boat friends... I b lined it so fast to the bar... avoid, avoid, avoid! Unfortunately he saw me and came over to talk with me and the guys... I did my best to not be too rude but to give him the not so subtle hint to break out. Our paths crossed a few different times that night- now that felt a little fatal attraction-esque, but I just ignored it and focused on having fun with the craziest Irish boys. We had many drinks that night and even more laughs. Keith and I really hit it off and the two other guys just kept us laughing. Paddy and I had a funny face photo session and Ed would come in with some wacky nonsense because I couldn't understand anything he said.. but I love the kid just the same... one of the palest people you will ever meet!

It was a late night, got rained on again... but this time I didn't mind so much. That was the very quick version of nothing other than a great night with great company! I don't think my boat people were that happy with me though... but two of the girls knew the story so hopefully they let everyone else know too!

i cant believe you fell for the 'Professional footballer back in Ireland' line.

2 things you should know:

1) Ireland doesnt have a professional football league to speak of - they all play in England.
2)If he played in England, he wouldnt have been in Australia as it is the middle of the season.

Did he tell you he is a part time fireman and that he goes to Africa to dig wells on his weekends?
