We rocked that boat! Part 1


 So at the end of 2009, four of us went on an epic cruise holiday, the first Miller Rock the Boat. Due to the fact that we are now all scattered around the country doing our 'real life', I figured this was the only way to show the girls my scrapbook album...until our pending reunion when we can relive the memories anyway :)

 Here's the poem that I wrote at the end of the album, which needs to be read after a good look at my scrapbooked album here.
  We rocked that boat

Hawley, Trash, Fluff and Ed
Planned to go on a cruise
So we rented our digs out
And bought 6 bottles of booze

Turns out it was Miller Rock the Boat
-       an awesome fluke indeed
So we all met at Durban Harbour
Bags packed as agreed

And so the boat set sail
-       the drizzle didn’t stop the party
We just drank our Millers,
Met Grant and Anele (that gap sure is tarty!)

Everyone was between 18-35,
The partying was non-stop
Swimming pools
Jacuzzi
And concerts at night
And a swaying night club at the top

Our cabin was quite tiny
Two up
Two down
But no porthole.
Buffet meals were served all day
But cocktails were our goal

We had a friendly Asian waiter,
Who Trash mocked, thinking he couldn’t understand
Turns out he did – how awkward!
He definitely stole our cruise photo from the stand!

We jammed to the Parlotones
-       the biggest groupies you’ve ever seen
Then Ed got bummed at Trash and Fluff
Who got to have photos sitting on his knee

We met some awesome people,
Ed met them even more
We swam in the pool at night
We shouldn’t have let those drinks out of sight

And so the last sun rose in the distance,
We sipped tequila, still awake
It was chaos at breakfast
-       we were nightmares at breakfast
But we’d had all the fun we could take

Hawley, Trash, Fluff and Ed
Went on a cruise together
Great memories
Incriminating photos
And so many laughs
This album is proof we’ll be friends forever
