The Boys at the Full Moon PartyAfter a long day by the pool, we all started getting ready for our first full moon party of the trip. The beach had been decked out with fluorescent banners and stages and upon arrival to the beach at around 10pm, there was already thousands of people going crazy! We got involved straight away by getting fluro paint tattoos all over us. Dave got a giant shamrock, Rhys a giant dickie bow, Chuck got the name of his alter-ego ‘Nouris’ on his chest and Finto bought a pair of ridiculous fluorescent sunglasses. Needless to say we were all donning our Santa hats for the night.
Everything on the beach was on fire from Poi Jugglers, to massive skipping ropes, to limbo bars, to random firework displays. Dave gave the skipping rope a crack and was lucky to escape with only a small burn to his foot. Other chancers weren’t so lucky and there were horrific burnings with one guys shorts even catching on fire. We’d seen Poi Jugglers before on Phi Phi so Dave made the act a little more interesting and livened up the watching crowd with his annual Christmas Eve streak. Dave is still keeping the flame alive of his annual streak with Cillian O’Byrne outside the 108 pub in Dublin every Christmas Eve. See glorious video below!!!
As per usual the full moon nights turn into a bit of a haze. We all ended up separated, partying with any random traveler until the sun came up on Christmas morning.
