Photo update!


Christmas in Port Villa 
Racking my brains and trying to remember my last month on the ship! I'm currently in Pai, North Thailand as I type this and I've been neglecting my blog hella. 100% due to my lack of internet and laptop access but here we are and I can get something up right now.
Sending Captain Alan down the Zip Line, best secret santa ever (and his viagra, haha) 


New Year for starters was amazing. Everyone hit up top deck, dressed to impressed. The Edge Team hosted the Crew Bar Olympics which included drinking a beer through a snorkel, jousting with pool noodles and talc, hulahooping, planking with a blow up doll on your back and dizzee stick relay races. Went down a treat! Me and the officer and Edge squad headed to the white party for my bro Daniele's birthday, we swiftly kicked ourselves out of the passanger area for being a bit too boozed and retreated back to the empty crew bar where we made it our own by bullying the cadets and ripping up with uniform. We had the Bosun party, sailor themed. The Captain let me onto the Bridge to sound the ships whistles ("Becca has been asking me to blow my horn, I haven't let her do that yet but I did say that she could sound the ships whistle...thanks for that Captain!) and I rode a Segway around the Bridge too. I'm important.
Merry Christmas from the swimming pool! 

In summary, I was almost counting down the days to go on the ship until my last week where it all just got back up to the hype again and I LOVED it again. My last night was a massive party of course, and the glitter got involved.


And I can't think of a better (or at least now predictable) end my contract than dying in a pile of bins, leaving a glitter cyclone in the bar, having SCECO called and being held captive until the crew bar is cleaned.
There was a massive manhunt for me around the ship with secuity and it resulted in me mopping the bar to Feliz Navidad in a sambrero at 7am in the morning-covered in glitter and having the whole ships company coming down to inspect the damage and laugh at me.
And to have my shoreside manager saying "What do you think these officers are going to think?!" -Cue my officer friends turning around going "Becca, this is hilarious you legend!". and swiftly being told I'm never being rehired hahaha. But I think that day was the best day of my life.
Vanuatu Canyon Zipline







Following this, I have been in Thailand for a week now hitting up a million temples. Riding in a side car. Bathing an Elephant. Going on the sketchiest zipline over a river. Having a Mario themed rave in a Banana farm, drinking a few buckets on Khao San Road and riding scooters to a cave, hotsprings, waterfalls etc. Enjoy a few photos from the trip as I make the pilgrimage down to Koh Phangan for Full Moon Party.
Bye PD!

Till next time!
