HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Haad Rin Beach, Full Moon Party, New Years Eve!New Years Eve was all about preparation for the Full Moon Party. Dave started his partying earliest, buying his first bucket at 1 in the afternoon while everyone was still chilling on the beach. The rest of the lads took it easy before the big night ahead. After eventually finding Dave who was spraying innocent bystanders with party spray in the middle of town, we all headed off for a Nepalese dinner.
Hickey and Dave take Full Moon Dress Up to a New Level! Over dinner we discussed dressing up for the party. Most people get well and truely involved with fluoro body paint and an array of strangely themed costumes. Dave and Hickey randomly decided they should take this tradition further by doing something completely different. Walking past a local fish restaurant on the way home from dinner we noticed 2 sharks on display amongst the other fish on offer. 'Who buys a shark?'....Dave Foran and Dave Hickey apparently do! After 10 minutes of bartering with the restaurateur, the lads had two sharks with a view to scaring the living hell out of the revellers on Haad Rin.
Rhys is not happy!On arrival to Haad Rin beach we were greeted by a neon-lit beach crammed with about 10,000 fluoro painted travellers! The night was great fun to say the least. Partying with people from the world over, all of whom were out to celebrate and welcome in the new year. 'New years Day' by U2 was the first song of the New Year and despite many of us getting separated in the crowd we were reunited after a brief rain storm on the beach. Rhys ran into a bit of trouble; inadvertently stepping on some stray broken glass during a brief blackout that occurred early on new years morning. As a result he was helped to the (extremely busy) Haad Rin Hospital by Dave and Hickey where he was given 3 stitches to the bottom of his foot. This didn't stop the festivities however, the guys returning to the beach to welcome in the first day of the new year. All in all the night was amazing; great mates, great times and plenty of stories to tell.
Partying on Haad Rin Continues on into New Years DayThe guys want to wish everyone a Happy New Year and thank all those who have shown us constant support during the inaugural period of the trip. Now the trip will start to get really interesting as we plan to head back to Singapore to meet the car and plan for the Asian leg of the journey.
