Brothers Bucks party

Nothing dirty. Don't fear.

Started at 9am with a hangover still going from the previous night. My bus driver picked me up to take me across to Manly to pickup my brother and his friends for the rest of the day.

The drinking started at 9:30 going to the go kart track. Excellent fun the 11 of us had the track to ourselves for 2 X 22min stints.

Very hot, hard work and lots of crashes and bruises later we piled back onto the bus for a ride to Doyles at Watsons Bay. Plenty of eye candy for us to look at on the beach. Summers coming so the girls were working on their tans.

A leisurely 2 hr lunch with much alocohol consumed and the waitress was quite happy with the by now 16 of us handing over $1100. $500 of that in alcohol. It was a great lunch.

Then caught the ferry back to the Quay. A few departed here but the rest of us crawled up the hill to the Australian hotel in the Rocks for the boutique beer festival.
Buy a tasting glass for $5 and then buy $1 tickets for your choice of about ten different breweries.
One of the guys knew someone who worked for the Blue Tongue brewery so we got some free samples before starting.
Listened and half watched the Tigers victory during the time at the pub.

We left the pub about 8 and the guys headed back to manly and I finally got home and passed out with the lights on. Not a good thing. Woke up at 1 am wondering how the lights got on.

An excellent day. And no damage done done to the buck apart from an alcohol induced sore head.
