Woke up this morning to a bitchin' hangover. Head is cloudy with ache and...why are my boxers wet? What's with the damp spot on the bed? Holy shit! I've managed to piss myself. Haven't done this in ages. Splendid way to start the new year.
Last night, well...what can I say? Drank more of that Arak I had brought aboard my island hopper and got drunk right quick. Had it fermented further in cola and heat? Force by which the cap jettisoned from the top when opened might support such a hypothesis.
The night began innocuously enough at Michael's crib with drinks and delicious food. I met some nice people from the world over, cool to find so many had chosen Labuan Bajo as the place to ring in the new year.
A couple of hours before the ball drop the party adjourned to this cheesy beach front club. Shitty house music, nothing much to do really but drink more and dance.
Things got blurry after that...
I remember pursuing this cute Indolass. Language barriers aside I believe my gyrating hips clarified my intensions. She kept running off and eventually I gave up assuming her behavior signified genuine denial. If nobody wants to dance with me I'll just sulk alone over this flat beer. But then she returned, led me upstairs to the balcony where we danced some more. I kept trying to kiss her but she was having none of it. Then she asked me if I loved her and I figured "this is too complicated to explain with such limited vocabulary" so I just said "no." No kisses and needless to say I slept alone that night which may have been for the best considering the damp awakening.
Alexy scooped me up early. Packed up with the quickness and departed for the ferry lickity-split. We're spending the night on Sumbawa and will ferry to Lombok tomorrow. Other than some nice scenery today yielded little of interest.
