Boxing Day

So how can we top Christmas day? Boxing day has a plan we load up on breakfast and head into town to meet the CHs with the BB and do the open top bus tour. We time it perfectly and the bus stops just outside their hotel as we are catching up with whats been going on and new of other teams. The bus tour seams a great idea as you will hit all the major sites and get a commentary on the history. We find out all about the history of the city as well as seeing the funniest method of brick laying. You hang out of the building your working on and do it that way, when your 3 stories up!! From the bus we see Risitas heading out of town but are unable to attract their attention.

Once we have done the tour we head back to the hotel via the local equivalent of Tescos (Marjane). We pic up a few provisions booze, mixers and shower gel. Didnt want to overload the car ;) The BB do a lot more effect shop as they havent got any food onboard. We get back to the Ibis and help the BBs load up. They are short of space and want help positioning stuff. They were even going to get rid of their disposable barbies (bleeding sacrilegious!!!) So we had away with them ;)

We have arranged for a meet up and drink at 1930 and faff till then sending emails and typing up blog posts. WWD, GG, CH and a German and an other Irish team turn up. WWD have had a fab time, they have their jedi suits and arrive on scooters they hired. They have been rassing round the old town with a phone taped to the wing mirror recording the progress. The footage will be upped to youtube when they get home. You must check it out. Chris is dead jealous that he didn't think of it and hasn't got chance to do it. Th hotel they are staying in with the Germans is lovely and they say would put the ritz to shame. Sorry dont know the name of it will try to find out. Stephan has scared the woman that is looking after them at breakfast that morning he goes to ask for bread and ends up asking a bit load scaring the woman. Currently he is being called the pan monster.

The other Irish team had picked up some ladies on the walkie talkies on the way in but hadn't managed to met up with them. They did however make Marrakeshs Passha and leave early to get some more drinking in. We discuss the route we are going to take the next day and what time we are going to leave. We end up brining out some bisquits (tell them vinny sent you) that we had found in the marjane and they turn out to be as salty as hell. This spurs us on to have another couple of glass of vino collapso.
