Anyway after the last entry it took me 21 hours or so to get to the beach in gokarna. Went on a sleeper bus first where a cheeky bastard bus man tried to charge us ‘baggage fee’ I told him I would ‘fuck his shit up’ if anything happened to our bags (this made everyone a bit anxious:). Probably shouldn’t have said that but nothing happened to the bags and we didn’t pay the 50 roupes. The guy was still trying to get money off us when we got of the bus so I told him that if he actually got my bag of the bus I would give him 10 roupes. He got the bag off then refused the money!! Language problem maybe. Anyway arrived in solipur at 6 in the morning and had to get on a local bus for a long time to bijapur then we had to get another local bus to hubli then we had to get another local bus to gokarna… arrived in gokarna at about 8. Think I may have gone a little mad on the bus as it took a long time. Had some fun though. Jenny fell asleep and we put a hat on her, tried to put the hat on mark but he woke up. There was a little girl sat in front of me and Emma who we played with a bit. Quick note, some bus drivers drive like maniacs I was really worried about dieing but I didn’t so its ok. Can’t describe it but they just put there foot down and overtake with traffic coming straight at them, overtaking on corners etc scary. In summary it was a long journey not that interesting as we were just on a bus.
Arrived in gokarna for Christmas !! What a good idea that was. Ended up coming to a place called ohm beach at 8 at night. There were no rooms anywhere. Luckily we meet a nice beach house owner that said we could sleep in his hammocks, ended up sitting down and drinking rum I got pissed and crawled into my hammock and slept like a little baby. The next morning a room opened up where the hammocks were and we took it (we are living 4 in a room again and the beds keep getting smaller). When I say room I actually mean a shed with a bed but its somewhere to keep our stuff safe (if we hadn’t lost the padlock that is ..
Next day I was a mess; we were all still drunk in the morning and had some fun being rautious, then I sobered up, then I felt ill, didn’t do much for the rest of the afternoon just sat around I think. wrapped presents, made crackers then made paper chains. Jenny and emma were making the pirate flag so I helped them and did some sewing (haven’t sewn in years (did texitiles at school) jenny cut out the skull and crossbones so she thinks that she owns the flag (but she doesn’t)
Woke up on Pirate day, sun shining, sat on the beach had a chai and some breakfast (egg chips and salad – great breakfast, had it every day), emma had got up early and made our Christmas stockings (my socks) filled with goodies, I got a shivalingum (gods penis/vagina) I’d got penis envy when I saw a huge one at the caves, some sweets and a banna (which I ate!). Got dressed up as a pirate first as I was really excited. I bough I cool waist coat, a cool skirt, wrapped a bandana round my head, emma tied some fabric to my hair, bought some pirate bling (got some bling in my stocking as well) and put some eye liner on. I though I looked fucking ace !!! (my photo’s don’t do me justice) Didn’t realize there was a mirror so had to take lots of photo’s on my phone. Me jen and emma then decided that we wanted to change our facebook photo’s! We were giggling like little kids. Think this is the most excited I’ve been about Christmas day since I was a kid (I was acting a little childlike). Came back put the presents we’d bought for each other under the tree (that emma had decorated with stuff and an amazing angle that she’d made). Opened the pressies, yey. I got a pirate pipe, a music shakey think, some juggling balls, a necklace, a recorder (some people will remember when I got a tin whistle and wouldn’t shut up and would walk round treforest (uni town) playing it – same thing is almost happening now:). felt sorry for everyone else who didn't have presents so gave all my crackers away which hope made everyone happy.
Everyone else had now dressed as pirates (maybe 8), jenny and emma both looked like hot wenches in new dresses. Very good look for them! We were the only pirates with swords as there were only three swords in the whole of gokarna – got to have a sword or your not quite a pirate. Jenny got a great tattoo (check picture), I ‘d found (stolen) a treasure map the day before (result) and got this tattooed on my chest (henna tattoo / although may get it done for real as I like it)
This blog is getting long and I’m getting tired but want to write about Christmas as it was so much fun
So now we were ready – we got a boat and raised the jolly Rodger and invaded the next beach – by invasion what I mean is we got of the boat span emma round until she was nearly sick waited to see which bar she pointed at and charged screaming. I was the first one through the door screaming my head like a right pirate. First think I see is two little kids looking at me with an expression I can only describe as a mixture of fear and perplexion. There parents were there and I played cricket with them for a bit (little kids can’t play cricket very well). After the initial ‘invasion’ we had grog (rum) and chi. As it was pirate day we played a traditional game of chirades which was fun apart from sometimes people new the answers and didn’t say them as they didn’t want to have a go!! That’s cheating in my book, was fun thought because if you’ve ever played charades you know people get very excited and people who didn’t want a go kept getting excited and saying the answers so they then had to have a go :-). I was feeling a bit tired by now as it had a been a long day already and I had a lie down. Emma joined me, Saw crazy American lady from goa – she’d had acid and was sketchy (not the best look). Got the boat back to our beach and invaded out own guest house. Everybody was flagging a bit by this time. We sat around for a bit. Remember talking to jenny and saying sink or swim time and she said do or die (she did – but I’ll talk about that later;- ) sat around for a bit then phoned the family with emma. Was really nice to talk to everyone, I have great families :-) and I love them all so much. Think my mum was a bit upset that I wasn’t there but I did miss her in the morning as she usually comes and wakes me up to open presents, I don’t want to as I normally have a hangover but she brings me a nice cup of tea and we open pressies. Dad was funny too (well tiff thought he was funny) love my dad he’s ace. Really perked me up speaking to families and I got back on the grog. Me and emma were on the phone for about an hour and when we came out, everyone (jenny and mark) were a lot more pissed. Drank some more then went looking for a regge party, couldn’t find it but some people had hired a sound system and were playing bad trance so we went there.
At this point I’d like to mention the fact that we were by far the coolest (maybe the drunkest) pirates in India. Party was fun, jenny was now winning the drunkest pirate award. Sometimes when people get drunk they get really happy and have really great grins, jenny had one of these plasted all over her face, was funny. At one point jenny decided we were all going to drink the rest of the grog (about half a bottle) one swig then pass it round. After three rounds of this I hid the bottle… Emma was now inducting people into the pirate fraternity by ‘dubbing’ them with pirate/porn names and jenny was trying to get the Dj to play the dirty dancing song ‘time of your life’. I was chatting and dancing and mark had lost something ;-) me jen and emma went on the beach and sang ‘time of your life’ and danced round just like real pirates do. The party was starting to die by this point (as was jenny ;-) as no bar would give us electricity for the sound system. Went on a mission with a what I will describe as a wonky guy and then set up a fire. Fire was nice. Me and emma then went in the sea as there was the phospourus effect going on (read the beach by alex garland) was georgeous. Me and Emma decided (correctly) that jenny and mark were to drunk to swim so we didn’t mention that we were going in the water. Although I’d been drinking all day I was quite with it, as was emma which was good. I like emma’s company and we swam about in the water and had a chat. Got back to fire and some people had gone, think jenny was asleep and mark had lost something (probably). Had a bit of an idiot round the fire and we took jenny home. I put emma in a firemans life and carried her for about 5 steps till she got scared. Jenny wasn’t capable of walking so mark decided to do the same… he fell over straight away was ok though as jenny though it was hilarious. On the way back met another guy getting someone back to his hotel (as he was spangled) so I grabbed an arm and helped him as he looked like he could do with it (jenny was now being carried by mark and emma with an arm each) it wasn’t far. Got back to hotel and mark and jenny were laughing there heads off, I wasn’t very tired so me and emma grabbed the last bottle of grog, some blankets and went to the beach Cuddled up and went to sleepish. (No funny business she has a boyfriend:(, ended up with 2 dogs sleeping with us keeping us safe/warm. About 7ish we went back to hotel and slept on the floor of hotel.
Great day. May have pirate day every year. It was really good to do something special as we may have just sat on the beach like an ordinary day on the beach on gokarna. The pressies were ace, rum went down well and we all just had fun. Flagged a bit in the afternoon (so much so that we thought we’d peaked – we hadn’t!) but that’s to be expected as its Christmas and normally we’d be cuddled up watching a film in the afternoon.
Don’t want to stop writing about pirate day but I suppose I have to move on sometime.
Boxing day, wasn’t to hung over, had some breakfast, told jenny what had happened for the last 2 hours of pirate day as she couldn’t remember (including standing on the landlords Head!) She was a little worried that she’d been a tit but she really hadn’t, she was great fun! Most proper pirate award I reckon!! Walked to really quiet beach (moving there tomorrow me thinks) to see some of emmas friends (who are now my friends) aled? And bried? Had some dinner, learnt a new juggling trick (there is juggling festival in goa soon I may go!), and came to internet. Going to watching a movie tonight hopefully. Love everyone Happy Pirate day
