We went for a swim in the morning and had a hearty breakfast to line the stomach and by 1:30pm we had met the group for the day and headed to the boat. As expected it was 80% girls and 20% guys (yet 99% Australian) but before we had to even worry about whether this was to become a sleaze fest the 1% proved that there was nothing to worry about for us. There were 6 British girls onboard and within 20 minutes (thats pretty much as soon as we left the dock) they had their tops off, tits out and skulling as much booze and shots as possible. We had never seen anything like it and even the guys who were running it admitted that it was a little bit too hectic for their liking, even quoting "its fun to watch but not something you'd take home". So for the next hour we pretty much sat and became an audience for them to get completely shit faced and make fools of themselves. Their dignity was pretty much thrown overboard and if we thought they had any doubt about what they were doing we were soon reassured once in the toilet line. As the small talk goes in a line it usually consists of where your from, where you've/will travel and if you have time left a small discussion about the place your at now. For these girls it went:
"So where are you from?"
"London"
"Oh yeah, are you with the girls upstairs?"
"Yeah were the mad ones doing body shots for the boys"
Right. If only we were both using mad in the same context. But good for them, young wild and ummm...free? It is their holiday after all and they can do what they want, it certainly made our day a hell of a lot more entertaining. The best part was yet to come though. For those reading who do know us back home I'm sure you would all agree that Toma very rarely drinks to get drunk. Not on this day. Whilst in Lagos we discovered strawberry vodka, caramel vodka and black current vodka. All of which taste like cordial and were being poured into our mouths until we gave the signal. Next was the jagermister, then the sangria, the beer and then by that point whatever was in your hand as favourite choice. For Toma, it was like she had never seen alcohol before and went that extra (and possibly later the regrettable) step further and took a mouthful of absinthe. OUCH! As expected it wasn't long until she needed to lay down to 'stop the spinning'. Good thing Nat come to her rescue, laid down with her and started pretending to attack her in a photo shoot.
Natalie. She is the next one to explain. This girl was ON FIRE! Whilst these Brit's are busy doing body shots on top deck Nat was break dancing and running in circles like Homer Simpson screaming whooop woop woop! "Who's seen that episode?" hahaha absolute classic! We all docked jumped off the boat and the guys didn't even need to ask the Brits for their clothes as they did a gender bender jump because they were already nude. The octo-beer-bong got brought out and the old drinking rules (mine and right hand drinking) were played throughout the day.
By the time we got back to land EVERYONE was a mess including myself. We somehow managed to scramble all our belongings (including our camera yes!) and slowly make our way back to the bar. For Toma though, she could hardly walk and lucky we had Justin's big muscles and Rhiannon to help carry her home and with the help of the four of us roll her into bed. Somehow I ended up in bed too and by 11pm Rhiannon, Nat and Justin came back to get us. I couldn't believe I fell asleep too but up we got and ventured out for the rest of the night 'feeling refreshed'.
Definately a headache the next day so for the final time we extended our stay in Lagos but only for a recovery session as we wanted to leave it by going out on a bang.
Unfortunately I couldn't risk taking my camera on board so was lucky enough to capture these shots on Nat's camera...enjoy!
