If everybody had an ocean, across the USA then everybody be surfing….no they would be getting stung by jellyfish! Yes jellyfish! Lucky me hey! We headed to
Pensacola Beach in
Florida this morning which of course since 95% of the bus is full of aussies you can imagine the excitement!
Well…it all turned to crap! We arrived there around lunch time so it was pretty much the hottest part of the day, we all ran down the hot sand to jump in the water! As I was walking along I thought to myself ‘what kind of people come to the beach and don’t swim’…there were like NO people in the water. Well…to my dismay it was because they had closed the beach! EEEK!! There was an aerobatic show going on over the water so the lifeguards wouldn’t let anyone in the water while the planes were flying overhead!
They looked absolutely amazing, doing all their tricks and spins…but hello…WE WANT WATER! What kind of person drops a bunch of aussies off at a beach and then tells them they cant swim in it!! Talk about nasty! Haha! So anyway, we had to wait about 40 minutes for the airshow to finish, which by then we were absolutely sweltering…and then it was a mad bolt to the water which was the most perfect temperature I’ve ever had at a beach!!! So by this point I was excited (even though the waves were lacking) and then within 5 minutes of being in the water….BOOM! I felt the sting on my arm….so I look down and off goes my little jellyfish that tried to make love to my arm! Thanks for that one buddy! A lovely spotty/lumpy red rash decided to reside on my arm, all itchy and burning! Gotta love american beaches, first you cant swim in them, then you get stung! Kill me now! So off I hop out the water, and then a few minutes later they kick everyone back out the water again for more planes…so off to the showers I went.
That was my beach experience over and done with! We then just had lunch in a pub on the beach and waited for the bus to take us to out hotel, where we had a group dinner which was definitely one of the more interesting dinners we’ve had. The tour guide gave each of us a lay (one of those Hawaiian necklace things) to play a game. We had to eat the entire meal talking to one another without using the word ‘ NO’! I can tell you one thing, its a lot harder than you think! If you asked a person a question and they responded with a no somewhere in their sentence you got to steal their lay. The person with the most lays at the end of dinner was the winner….and well….in Bretts words…I DOMINATED!!!! I had 15 but the end of it! I only lost them once, because I told someone how I won them (stupid me) but I quickly won them back of the tour guide after she took them! Hehe! So yes…I managed to beat everyone….like 52 people! YEAH BABY! The closest person to me had about 10.….then everyone else had about 3 or 4! Hehe. Damn im good! Tee hee hee! We then headed to a pub about a 10 minute walk away, where unfortunately they wouldn’t accept the Australian drivers license as ID so we walked back and some of us couldn’t be bothered going back so we just chilled out at chatted in my room for a while and then had a semi early night! I was just retarded and forgot my ID completely, because I have to use my passport everywhere I go….silly me lost my drivers license in Vegas…grrr!
