First day in the Bay of Islands!

The first night was pretty much a blur. Once I got in Pahia I looked around a bit at the hostels for where I was going to stay. I ended up choosing the Pipi patch. I went down to the beach to look around and saw a guy playing soccer, so i joined him for a while, was good to kick a ball around. When I went back to the hostel I saw some more people kicking a ball around and joined them too. We ended up playing basketball ball too, it looked like they all had never played before, so foreign to them (them being a bunch of English guys and girls).

The sun was out and hot so we went to the bar in the hostel and got a round. I'm such a cheapskate so I couldn't be bothered with just getting a sinle pint, pitchers (or Jugs as they call them) are cheaper. We ended up playing Ring of fire, which is basically our Kings but with way better game rules, it was awesome! I must have drank 4 pitchers that night had got the worst dirty pint, which was about 4-5 different shots and some beer and coke. International rules meant I had to drink it out of a straw! Got a video of it even. The rest of the night was a blur but good fun.
