Trip to Rotterdam Part 3, More beer and the trip back

By Glen McNamee | June 16, 2003

The Last Night back on the Boat was very much like the first except we were heading
in a different direction, the first thing we all did when we got back on the boat
is head to the gift shop to buy gifts for those we left at home, I got Conor an
Action Man View Finder (remember them) While wondering around the shopping part
of the ship I noticed for the first time the Ship had an Internet Café
(sometime it takes my a while to notice things) and it had been a while since
I was last on the Internet however I was warned by Dave that this was out of bounds
as I was on a stag night. Now we all headed back to our rooms for a wash and to
get changed, then we all headed back to the bar, except Shaun who had gone to
bed and wouldn’t be seen again until the next morning.

Those of us still awake drank away merry upstairs at the bar while we sent
Chovi down to the café for some food, When Chovi arrived back with the
food we drank and ate, I had a Pizza which cured my hunger. Again we entertained
ourselves with lager and Jugs full of cocktails as we headed down stairs to
the lower bar (again ignoring the entertainment) and the Casino, tonight the
casino (and the ship itself) had a great deal more people in than it did the
night before, unfortunately this made the blackjack tables almost impossible
to get to so I did get to play again, however a few of the other lads namely
Dave and Scott found there way to the roulette table where Scotty had a bit
of luck and actually came away with quite a bit of money. Again at ‘Closing
time’ we headed up to the boat deck and had a little more to drink, helping
the boat avoid collusion with a stationary object and watching Scotty throw
up. After a while despite Dave wanting us to run round the boat naked or compare
the size of our gentiles we eventuality retired.

In the morning we were again awoken by the horrible loudspeaker women, however
this time it was not so early in the morning, and also not so late that we had
to hurry. We all got ready as we did the day before although Chovi seems to
take less time because we were not in a hurry and then made out way down the
stairs where we ran into the other lads, it appears Shaun after his long sleep
had got up early had some breakfast. We had missed this as everything on the
boat was now closed and people where now queuing to leave the boat, we join
the queue a left. We got of the boat, went thought customs, then into the car
park, jumped in the car and headed back to Middlesbrough only stopping off at
a "Little Chef" (or as Shaun likes to call it a "Little Thief")
for breakfast, except Shaun of course who had breakfast on the boat.

When we arrived back in Middlesbrough about 11:00 Dave dropped me and Moffy
off, and Moffy picked his car up and then dropped my off and home and drove
off home to Bishop Auckland, I arrived home to find Suzanne striping (read the
full sentence before passing comment) the wallpaper in the living room as she
had start to redecorate. We jumped straight in the car and we went and picked
Conor up from school giving him his present.

And I still had 80 odd Euros in my Wallet.
