New Years Eve

New Years Eve. We decided to stay at this place for tonights festivities, as it was free, near the beach, not too far from town and we had room. The downside was that there was a drinking ban on from 7pm on 31st to 7am on the 1st.....exactly the hours in which we were planning to drink! There were fines of $200 per bottle, and we had shite loads of bottles of beer and wine! Hey, ho! We mosied into town to get some food together as we were going to have a curry for tea. We started cooking and drinking (legally) about 5pm. When it came to 7pm, we had to serve our beer in our metal cups and sneakily fill them up, as there were cars patrolling the area. It was a bloody cold night and we were all wrapped up, especially Randy, I think he had on every item of clothing he had! So, much cooking and not much drinking was done. Due to limited and temperamental cooking facilites, we finally sat down to our yummy curry about 10 pm!! Was worth it though. We had wanted to have a fire on the beach but when we wandered down there it didn't seem like a possibility, they were however, setting up for a fireworks display. At midnight, we all sat in our van with the curtains drawn and opened a bottle of fizzy stuff! Then we went out to watch the fireworks which were all pretty impressive. Drinking of the fizzy stuff continued back in the van as did much silliness and laughter. A great night was had by all.
