When arriving on the island Khao Samui my main concern was to find a TV to watch the football on as the match wouldn’t start until 1.45am local time. After we came home from dinner (an eventful night that I’m sure Michelle will fill you all in on) a couple of us walked along the beach to we found a bar with a TV. We came to the only bar that was opened (well it was just the owner and he was watching a movie lets say wouldn’t be shown before the water-shed). We asked him if we could watch the footie and he kindly agreed. Phew!
Let the game begin. There was me, James, Graham, two French Guys (cheering on Chelsea) and the owner with his dog that looked surprisingly like Brian from Family guy. This was probably thee most tense game I watched so plenty of drinks were ordered. Little worried about drinking them as the owner was using his hands to put the ice in (very worrying actually considering what he was watching earlier). When it went to penalties I couldn’t sit and had to stand in the beach. I stood on a table and the other guys came down and stood with me arm over arm as if we were taking the penalties ourselves.
John Terry you muppet! Champions again!
The neighborhood was awakened by a lot of singing and shouting! We danced back to our beach resort were we celebrated by going for a swim in the sea at 5.00am. When the bar opened at 6 I ordered a bottle of champagne, thought about the celebrations that were going on at home and watched the sun come up. What a day!
