British Lions Incentive - Day 2
After enjoying a few Castle beers the night before, a relaxing day on the beach was required and the sun duly obliged. Games of beach rugby, football, beach volleyball were the order of the day while Luke was intent on his loopy idea of diving with sharks!!
There was a giant Lions shirt on the beach that was being signed by all of the tourists, having already done the rounds in the UK with hundreds of signatures already collected! We understood it was going to be ultimately auctioned off for charity - not sure where you will be able to put it though, over your house?!
Some of the guys popped to the team hotel and we caught up with Maximuscle ambassador Shane Williams for a quick chat. Not quite in the side for the Durban game but he tells us he is fighting hard for a place in the lineup for the 2nd test no doubt. Ps lovely pink top there Mark!
We headed back to Florida street for a bite to eat and it was absolutely packed with British fans all in high spirits, and we found a thai restaurant just round the corner. Pudding was missed to make sure there was more room for a drink or several, and called in at the Fiddler, an Irish bar with a chap on a violin prompting rugby song after song!
After one of the party managed to come back from the bar with 10 beers and 2 local ladies, these local lasses insisted that we all head off to Joe Cool’s, the local nightspot on the beach. It didn’t disappoint, again with red Lions shirts everywhere and fans and Bokkers enjoying a few beers and banter about the game tomorrow.
You can definitely feel the excitement building up and Luke and I absolutely cannot wait for the game in the morning. Come on the Lions!
