Day 3: Thu 17th July 1997

After eventually getting up, in the same clothes as I collapsed on the bed with the previous night, we cracked open the beers.  Jo was obviously gagging for alcohol as hers went down a bit quick for the time of day.  After an uneventful period of sitting around doing nothing but drinking and eating, (nothing wrong with that!!), we headed for the pool.

The time in the pool was a life changing experience for Lisa.  Did she reveal her true sexuality??
Did she claim to be an alcoholic?? Did she reveal she was married with two kids?? Did she discover an amazing talent that she can tour the world with in a circus??!!!?...........  NO!!, she opened her eyes under water, DAH DAH DAAAAAAHH!!!!!!  The pool was actually quite empty so we did our best to dominate it by seeing who could sit on the bottom the longest.  When this idea grew tiresome we used money as an incentive.  It was also a way of utilising Lisa's new found talent.  This didn't actually last very long though as Spanish coins have a weird element in their make-up which makes them invisible when they get wet.

We decided to leave the pool when we discovered we hadn't had any alcohol for at least 3 hours, (or 3 million, depending on who you talk to).  When we returned to the flat and had a drink in our hands, Lisa and Jo revealed their culinary talents.  Lisa can cook hot dogs, (with her eyes open!!), and Jo cooked pasta and pancakes - what a mouth-watering experience, luckily we had Sangria and beer to wash it down with.

Finally we made it out.  Our first destination was Gordon's Bar.  I'm not sure if Gordon was in, but he did have a list of cocktails that his waiters had never heard off.  It didn't seem to matter though as we got some form of alcohol which was very nice, (although Jo got a straw and I didn't!).  We then ventured out to Pineda Drink.  This is a long row of bars all blasting out different music, a version of the Wiv Run, (Essex Alumni will get that reference), but bigger and less walking and probably cheaper.  We finally returned home and collapsed.  It is never difficult to sleep if you drink enough.
