Party Weekend - 9th & 10th May

This weekend was a busy & crazy one - Farmers Market in the morning; then off to town with Fidelis to the Bob Marley commemoration concert (which was rained out); meeting Fidelis' very funny uncles; seeing a terrible boy band at the Book Cafe; rescued by Allan to go drinking with Alice, Webber & Lucy at Alice's house till 4am; waking up for breakfast beers, followed by a massive fry up on sunday morning; drunken missions for more beers & randomly meeting Webber's mate who is a biochemist & can help out with herbal research for Kufunda; more drinking all day Sunday amidst a crazily heavy downpour, conjouring up plans for a warehouse party with Webber; taken to one of the dodgy 'ghetto' areas to see a brilliant dub band where the whole bar almost went silent with WTF? when 3 whiteys walked in - but quickly picked up again & plenty of smiles and hellos all round when they saw us drunk & dancing (plus 20 mins of some guy trying to convince me to find an Australian girl for him - ladies??); then off to a night club where we had delicacies of bull's balls bbq'd over a fire in a 44gal drum out the front in the car park (& usual African night club recipe of bad music played far too loud for the sound system); 6 of us in the car on the way back to Alice's at 1am & a very early wake up to get back to Kufunda.

Brilliant fun & good to meet some very funny party crew so early into the trip, but after 5 weeks off the booze I have certainly lost my touch - hangover lasted 2 days, ouch!
