On arrival back to the tent we ate a spot of lunch before I changed into shorts and went and sat near the entrance with a ice cold lager to watch the bikes arrive. IT was Hot! well into the 80's and my tan was coming on I was starting to turn a nice brown. Rocket took to a shady area and had a nap. As the rest of the crew were not due to arrive until the next day, I was left to my own device's, with all the good food and plenty of Beer I think I will survive!
As the afternoon turned into evening I made use of the Showers and changed into my Long trews and a T shirt put on the anti Mozzie cream and joined the party.
After a beer or two it was time to eat, First of all you need to go to a booth and pay and collect your ticket Then hand it over to the Waitress take your seat and wait for your meal to be brought to your table by a lovely Waitress, very civilised. The food was Fantastic as good as any Italian restaurant back in the U.K.More beer followed I was able to find a few English speakers which did help. As the night went on a few bands played in the dance hall, Rocket sneaked off to his bed, while for me beer followed beer, lovely, and the evening carried on. Around midnight I staggered off to bed and a good nights sleep
