"Plomin along"

Plomin

Saturday the 9th July we reunite as one as we check in to the boat at 11am. We find out our boats name is 'Plomin' and its the best busabout boat going around. We drop our bags to Room 9 which was conveniently the only room next to the bar. HELLS YEAH!! Just to describe our living conditions for the next 7 nights- A room the size of a shoe box, a bunk bed with no ladder, a bathroom which consisted of a toilet (with bright pink toilet paper) and a shower that hung over the toilet.

We then met the rest of our group and our tour guide 'MATE' which is actually pronounced Marte in our dining room (which was a sweat box) for lunch and to hear our itinerary for the next 8 days. Pretty sure it only consisted of drinking and what bars to go to next. We were supposed to leave the port in Split at 1pm but didnt leave until 230pm as 6 people didnt show up and had to catch up with us later as they missed flights and lost there baggage for 4 days. Our fellow sailors for the next week consisted of 2 germans, 1 kiwi, 1 english and the rest were aussie, mostly from melbourne!

After lunch we decided we'd go check out Chris and Rachaels room on the 'couples deck' where Sally tried to open the curtain door and snapped the entire rod off the wall and the curtain came crashing down. Lucky Chris randomly packed a roll of duck tape!

The boat then moored at a swimming bay where we all decided to jump off the second level of the boat. Everyone jumps and screams and has fun until the one english girl who is somewhat larger then the rest of us cant decide if she should jump head first or feet first. So midair she makes the decision of not knowing what her decision was and did a belly flop dropping from about 4metres . Wowee there was no splash just more of a gulp splat noise as the adriatic sea engulfed her. We all histerically laughed whilst she was under the water then once she came up for air we all asked if she was ok as we were worried shed have serious internal injuries / bleeding. Later that night we all have a giggle and ask her if shes ok and her answer was ' I have black and blue bruises up my thighs and stomach.' What entertainment!!!

We then set sail to an island where we stupidly decided to hike up the hill to a castle owned by pirates in about 38deg heat. We followed a couple from our boat the complete wrong way and after making it to the steepest part the guy who we now call Bear Grylls decides for everyone that we arent going to make it up the top as he hasnt been to the gym in a month so if we hiked up we'd be sore for 5days and need a massage and lots of water. So as we were on a time limit we turned back and followed the right path back down and had a swim.

We then sail to the island where we dock for the night called 'Pucsica' where we have a jumbo pizza and man it was huge! the size of our table. It was atleast 50cm in diameter and Marnie Stupidly said 50 by what and everybody laughed as clearly its a circle.. DER! We then had happy hour on the boat and played UNO drinking game and got heaps drunk and went to a night club where we had our first group shot which tasted like petrol! Everybody was gagging!! Chris kept forcing us to drink the drinks he bought us then we boogied on the dancefloor then rolled on home to our sweat box and sat on our deck to get some fresh air (which became a nightly ritual).
