DRINKING WITH THE LOCALS

Tonight it's boy's night out. Grab a motorbike taxi from the hotel with Les, with a driver who decides it would be more fun to make the trip on the wrong side of the road against the oncoming traffic. That certainly gets the evening off to an interesting start.

We head for a roadside bar and BBQ where we sit on wooden tables and benches and meet up with three local teachers. Two have good English, one has none, but we all get along great. After a few beers the Liar Dice game comes out and I am given a beginners lesson in this dice gambling drinking game.

Suddenly finger food arrives, aubergine with garlic, mussels, chicken wings and mushrooms. All of it tastes fantastic. Much drinking continues until we realise it is 1.00 am and we had better head for home.

I decide it is polite to pick up the tab. So an evening's beer and food for five comes to a whopping £10.

Note to self - must come again!
