[QUOTE="jjraak, post: 2306754, member: 493719"] PT 2 However, the night took a different turn as we left restaurant,. Saying good night to our new found friends we head off to the "best cocktails in town" so we are told. Here, we come slightly unstuck. Not got my phone set up for roaming data, And Lauren's is set up, but she's not so cluey with apps, etc. Menu is on a QR Code which we are directed too...nice, no other menu.:rolleyes: I click but can't connect, she can't find her QR scanner, so we give up and go to our standbys, long Island & expresso martini. Now for those who don't know, long Island is a wicked mix of spirits and quite a lot of it for a cocktail. Lauren is a "Sex in the city" fan, so knows her cocktails. A back to earth English price of £19 for 1 long Island ice tea and 2 expreso martinis.. Then off to bed…….Mmhh We then wander home, but stop and ask rental guy about scooter hire for Sunday, Price etc. Never, in my life have I had more weirder conversation trying to buy or rent something. It went along the lines of . " Can we hire a bike..? A Yes but I'm not bothered, can you ride B Yes, full licence travel docs etc, but needs to be 125cc or lower, for insurance purposes A..your insurance, is no good B it's just a stipulation of our travel cover. A means nothing. B ok we still need insurance, that's just the travel side. A doesn't matter , doesn't count B ok, I see ..do you actually rent bikes ? ( By now getting exasperated) A yes any bike you want 250/125/50, petrol electric..whatever you need. B ok a 125 please..with insurance A ok but yours doesn't count..it's all meaningless, I only rent when I'm not renting industrial machinery, tractors etc. By now Lauren has got involved. L But DO you rent bikes A yes, any type you want.. L a 125..with insurance A yes yes, but it doesn't matter, I don't need to rent bikes, I have a hotel…… At which point i extracted us, and we wandered off giggling at the ridiculousness of the conversation. To chill us out, we stopped by the river for one more...haha..who was I kidding.:hilarious::hilarious: What a fool I was thinking one would ever be enough. We sat and soon had a most interestingly weird conversation with a nice couple we wandered from covid being mass control experiment, mask make no sense, big pharma is trying to kill us, food is as good as meds for many, then onto type 2 , B12 deficiency LCHF, apartheid, Mandela, An interesting range of topics, disputed but debated civilly And £35 poorer, and very drunk , we mask up, and walk home giggling at the weirdness of the evening. Because everything has gone so smoothly this hols..arrangements, finding bars restaurants etc we liked, we nicknamed this holiday The TRUMAN SHOW. However last night we think the tapes got swapped out and instead played the island of Dr Moreau/shutter Island. So we ended up sniggering as we made up stories about the gent ( now called Dr death) Being part of some cult, a looking for organ donors., As we headed home in the VERY early hours.......ridiculous, but it was that kind of night. Finally home 4 am-ish...oh dear, lol. Will we ever learn...:hilarious::hilarious: [/QUOTE]
