So currently I'm at the chateau without wifi because it does claim to have wireless Internet but it doesn't claim if it works. So I'm not dead because I haven't updated Facebook or my blog, nor replied to my emails. But I am alive. Just.
Yesterday on our drive from Paris to the Chateau we just blitzed past everything. So we arrived at a reasonable time. As soon as we got there though we had a wine tasting and learnt a few things about wine. Like legs and it wasn't really much of what I expected because the info was pretty hollow. All I wanted to do was sleep. The wine wasn't fantastic but we did get told it was their most poplar and cheapest. Straight after I went for a nap.
Lucky for me I was a cookie (I was required to help with food prep and serving meals) for the time at the Chateau. It wasn't too bad but it wasn't what I had in mind for a holiday. The meals were pretty good though. Actually on the way to the Chateau I had an espresso, something I've been dying for for a really long time. It kills me that I can't drink coffee every day. Dinner was chicken, bruschetta and chocolate mouse.
Straight after dinner I hit the bed for another nap. Why? Because one I was still tired as fuck, two I wanted to be fresh for the P party and also to escape Tom. This guy Tom, despite being nice and all, kept hitting on Alicia and any other girl who'd give him any little amount of attention. So that was just too funny and awkward.
Now the P party was down in the Cave of the Chateau which is an underground bar/club within the building. Sweet. So the point is to dress up as something starting with P. I had the idea of going as pope. I got my white bed sheet and Alicia purple scarf and hit the Cave. It was good until there were two other popes who put more effort and I looked more like a priest. So I was the priest!
It was fantastic. Flash, the bus driver, came down as a penguin and I immediately thought of Billy Madison so I went behind to hug him. He freaked out and I got a photo with him. The night was great. One girl kept making out with every guy she could and apparently cracked onto a few girls too. Which is great because I said to Renata at the start of the night I bet she'd be the first to hook up. 1 point to Angelo.
Seriously all I remember is drinking about 6 beers because they were only €3 each. Insanely cheap. But totally worth it because half way into the night Alicia went to bed. She was drunk after 1 drink. Fiona and Dre warned me about this and gave me a mission to get Alicia to stay out late and drink more. But I failed because I didn't give a shit if she wanted to go, I was going to enjoy myself.
"He's a penguin? OH I GET IT. P FOR PENGUIN!" Alicia.
