Our trip to Ko Phangan started in the best possible way... with football! Having dumped our stuff at our latest hole of a bungalow we made our way to the beach where there was az beach soccer tournament ongoing. Woody and I were desperate to get involved so we just joined a team who were short. It all started so well, scoring 2 in 2 to help us through to the quazrter finals as group winners. Next day we returned as favourites according to the mc - this guy looks like he never sleeps...ever. Our stint as favourites lasted approx 15 minutes as we crashed out after a dramatic penalty shootout. Needless to say i missed a second consecutive quarter final penalty and lost the 4th penalty shootout this year...brilliant!
Never one to dwell on misfortunes i used the promise and excitement of the largest beach party in the world to forget any sorrow i may or may not have been feeling. Several hours and several buckets of alcohol later (thats right, they serve it in buckets here...it is that type of gig) we had hit the laser filled, drowned in sound, sand. And here we stayed until sunrise (well some of us) transfixed, or bemused, by fire jugglers, sea fornicators and the skipping rope from hell- what a night!
