Give me rum!

Thinking the night was ending after Catherina gave a wine tasting, it was announced that we were going for dinner. Jeez! At 10.30pm? This is normal here Lisa. I argued... but I don´t eat past 9 in England, there are health warnings!! Lisa, the restaurants don´t open til 8.30 or 9 here. Restaurants aren´t busy until 11. What!? Let´s go, I´ve got to see this. No longer thinking about pyjamas and sleeping bags, most of us went out. To a steak house. I ate a salad (lettuce, tomatoes and egg) and everyone else ate the best steak of their lives. Still there was temptation for me, I was simply happy not eating a cheese and tomato toastie. Champers, vodka and wine later, we found ourselves controlling lovely little Ellie. She´s a mental drunk person in the best possible light. She is so small and cute that when she called the bar man ugly with a serious voice he laughed. When she threw the menu at him because he didn´t have rum, he smiled. She thought he didn´t understand her so she tried to write it down for him in BIG letters. He spoke English. She drank a pint in two gulps. It was someone elses. She drank two more pints within three minutes. It is questionable where she puts it. Then we carried her out of the pub and were chased down the road by the bar man. She hadn´t paid. She said, we can still run, go go, it´s only a beer. I turned her around and said, it´s only a beer just pay for it. She went back in and paid for one. The bar man quietly ignored that she had drunk three pints. Then she started running down the road, we could see it all in slow motion, she swurved into the road just as a bus was coming and made it across the road in the nick of time - her near death experience. Safely laid on the bed fully clothed, she snored immediately. The next day she remembered nothing.

At breakfast Liah wandered in, she only got back to the hotel at 8.30am having fallen asleep at a guys house. There had been a band at the pub and the band member had taken a fancy to Ellie. He gave Liah his email address to give to Ellie. Liah went to his house by accident - Spanish translation confusion ?? - and kissed him. Still, Liah tried to give Ellie his email address anyway. Suprise suprise, Ellie didn´t remember the pub let alone the guy.
