Dutch Queen's Birthday

The BBQ's best fan.

I didn’t do much today other than study the rescue diver manual. Studying actually went well because this was the second time I went through the manual. The rest of the day I was planning on going to Alona Beach to check internet and to go to a party celebrating the Dutch Queen’s birthday (there’s a good number of Dutch people here).

Jake, Paul and I enjoy a round of that Joss drink.

I went to Trendi’s to check internet and surprisingly checked all I wanted to in 20 minutes. For dinner, I went to Oops and tried their bbq pork belly. It was quite delicious actually. At Oops, I met two guys from the US - Jake and Paul - who were aviation government consultants. They didn’t talk much about it and I assume what they did was pretty secretive. They turned out to be good to talk to and introduced me to a drink one of them created using vodka, soda water, and Joss - a fruity energy drink. The drink was good, it tasted like a popsicle.

Instructor Mike grins under light.

Nic is happy to drink a San Miguel beer.

Sara talks amongst the Dutch.

After Oops, Jake, Paul and I went to Trendi’s for the Queen’s birthday celebration. Anyone who wore orange (Dutch color) got a free drink. Sara, Martine (who are Dutch) and Mike were there already wearing their orange. There was dancing but overall the place was mellow. A good crowd actually.
