So we finally finished
work at the Heritage Gateway (to hell) Hotel. I topped the last shift off by accidentally opening a large bottle of champagne for a guest who only wanted a small bottle. The kitchen guys were happy though cos the rest of bottle got shared around! The boss on the other hand wasn't too happy. But WHO CARES! We were so happy when we were
done that we even opened another bottle of champagne back at the house. This time just for us two. Then the flatmates
returned home and decided to open more champagne. So much champagne! Everybody got pretty tipsy to
say the least. We also had a ‘farewell house party’ to plan for the next night,
so we made sure to sober up before bed. The next day felt amazing. FREEDOM! No
more making beds, cleaning toilets, folding sheets, or carrying bags for little
old Chinese ladies who seemingly didn’t leave anything at home. My back will
never be the same again.
So we headed to the
shop and bought loads of food, cakes and beers in preparation for the big
night. Cecile even bought balloons! But we were to discover that they were
actually water balloons (which were pretty fun after everyone had had a few
drinks!). We got the house ready whilst I fired the barbeque up. Johanna made a
chocolate cake and Cecile prepared the dance floor. Everyone came bit by bit
and eventually everyone got drunk enough to dance and do the limbo! It was a
great night. Everyone had fun. Can’t be better than that! It finished with us
all chilling round the fire eating cheese and hummus.
Gonna miss everyone in Omarama. It really was a job sent from the gods and gave us the ability to do everything we wanted to do. We were truly lucky to have lived in such a beautiful area. We will definitely come back to visit little Omarama in the future!
