At half past eight, I was almost ready when my friend, Ingo turned up. He was on his moped, and my dad and me needed to follow him as he knew the way to my friend, Lisa, to meet. We were some distance from her house, when we spotted her standing at the side of the road. She climbed onto Ingo's moped and we followed her. They turned into an very steep road and Ingo's moped wouldn't carry them up the hill. He was trying to move the bike up the hill with his feet, but Lisa got off and she got into my dad's car and Ingo's moped was then light enough to make it up the hill (more or less). At her house, she changed and got ready, while Ingo did her german homework. Ingo was dressed up as a freaky cannibal, Lisa and me as gothic schoolgirls. When Lisa was ready, she took the dog out and then we left to make it from where she lived, down to the town center.
Once there, around half past 9 or so. Or even 10 - I can't really remember - she met up with her other friends at some plaza - Virginia and Kati (or however her name is spelt). Going back to the town center we saw a german guy, Mark, that was also going down with us to Puerto (where the main carnival party is happening, right at the side of the sea). Mark left to find his friend, Michel. After quite a while, it was around 22:03, we went on the bus to drive down to Puerto. Ingo had left on his moped way earlier to pick up a guy from my school - Chris.
At around half past 10, we spotted Ingo and Chris. We went to burger track (a fast food restaurant) and ordered some food. We spent quite a while there and had a lot of fun telling Ingo how gruesome and bloodthirsty his cannibal costume was (it was freaky!). This was also the day that Chris was actually pretty nice to me and we got on together. After eating something and getting grossed out by the cannibal, we left burger track. It was quarter to eleven I believe. Nothing great was yet happening, not too many people around. We spend a while around Mr. Arthurs 'bar' (Mr. Arthur is an english teacher at my school, and he has this little bar that is always put up around carnival time - it's pretty well liked for the students). Well around mr. arthurs bar, we saw Robin and Ivan - two more guys from our school.
For a while, Ingo, Chris and me went to walk around when Chris' dad called. A while later, his dad was actually there with us and invited us for a drink. Not wanting to get drunk, I said I only wanted a beer. Fair enough, I got a pint of beer. I hoped it wouldn't be as much, but it was. I also had my first very own cigarette soon after returning to mr. arthurs bar. I had tried smoking twice before, but, it was some friends cigarette and I inhaled it only once.
At around 12 something, Lisa was going to buy some Mari-lu (cheap version of Mali-bu). On her return, we walked into a group of 1 girl, and 2 guys. Lisa stopped as she knew the girl and talked to her. Then the guys asked if I weren't from the British school (I have no clue how he knew!). I said yeah and we left. Hm wait... actually... I can't remember what time Lisa went to buy the Mari-lu! It must've been later because I remembered that we came back to mr. arthurs at 5 to two.
When we came back to mr. arthurs, I unfortunately was smoking, when my boyfriend was there. He didn't actually mind though. For the rest of the evening I stayed around mr. arthurs and my bf. Lisa also told me that Mark, the german guy, asked her if I had a boyfriend because he liked me. Funnily enough when he saw me with Matt (my bf), he never looked at me again during the night! Lol.
For the majority of time until 4am, I stayed with Matt and enjoyed the night quite a bit. I went in need of the toilet once, and it rained, so I was soaking wet for the last hour or so. Also, on the way in search of a bathroom, I was stopped by two guys who offered me a cup of some alcohol - which I did not accept. Returning to mr. arthurs bar, wet and soaking, I was glad to find some warmth in the arms of Matt. It was actually quite funny because everyone seemed to crowd under the little roof the bars provided, and some guy (dressed up as a girl), who was standing pretty close to me and was staring at me, said all of a sudden to Matt and me: "We girls like to be together, don't we?" Which caused quite a good laugh under the roof. A short while after that, Lisa turned up and told me that the fat guy (after we had bought the Mari-lu) was asking where I was! Scary!! Well, luckily, I didn't come in search of me, and I left soon after that. Matt accompanied me to the car park where my dad was waiting for me. I went home and dropped into bed. I didn't wake up until 13:50 today.
Summary:
Length of carnival party-ing: 8pm to 4am.
Drinks consumed: 1 pint of beer (shared with Mark and Sasha [Sasha is not worth to mention]), a tequila and something a guy of my class offered me to drink which disturbed my stomach.
Cigs: 5-6 (I think)
Percentage of fun: 98%
People that stared at me freakishly: too many.
