Last night was Marielle & Sylvan’s Hens & Bucks party …. and did they go with a bang!<\/p>\n

The boys kicked off with paintball (& beers) at about 3 in the afternoon …. & man was it FUN, FUN FUN ! The overalls weren’t much\u00a0 protection at all and so we all got our t-shirts & shorts liberally “redecorated” with various paint colour, in addition to the huge purple bruises we all got from the paintballs . Plus after crawling through a creek which was ankle deep in mud & goo I finished up in a truely ‘glorious’ state for the rest of the evening \ud83d\ude00 . The bridegroom to be was of course dressed up by the best man in a white dress & veil so we could all identify him more easily for target practice. Honours were pretty much even between the red & blue teams although my moment of glory came when I captured the red team’s flag & was half way back to our base when I was unfortunately brought down by a hail of red team paintballs.<\/p>\n

We then adjourned for a barbie (&beer)\u00a0 & re-dressed the bridgroom in a lovely little nightie after tieing a heavy chain around one of his ankles.<\/p>\n

We then moved on to one of the local clubs to play Guitar Hero on their massive overhead screen. It was at this point that Sylvan was further trussed up like a turkey & led to the roundabout in the centre of town & left for a while, much to the amusement of a passing busload of tourists who also came back to watch. Unbeknownst to Sylvan a little “arrangement” had been made with the local police. So after we’d blindfolded & tied him to a palm tree in the middle of the main high street the police duely turned up, “arrested” him, bundled him in the back of the police car & drove off, sirens going.He was eventually delivered back to us at the campsite in Emily bay where we were all waiting for him. We then had another barbie (& a few beers) with the policeman that “arrested” him….. turns out that the policeman had once been a lifeguard on Jersey & knew Guernsey & the Channel Islands very well …… small world eh!<\/p>\n

The Hens meanwhile started off down the beach where a surprise ‘package’ awaited Marielle in the shape of Ross ( A Pom from Newcastle).They then went back to a friends house for party games & a pyjama party along with copious amounts of beer … some of these Aussie women can sure put it away !\u00a0 ;-D<\/p>\n
