Funny start to the day – take my malaria tablet on an empty stomach and almost end up heaving – ugh – not good chat. Had to keep running outside to have a sit down and some fresh air. Unfortunately, my peace was broken by two old american gimps = one of which was telling a rather interesting story about a mate who divorced his wife. He then asked his wife, ‘what do you want in the settlement? Tv etc?’ and she starts to point stuff out, the crazy dude then raises his shotgun and starts firing at all the stuff the wife points out – mental eh?! Funny story tho…..
Anyhoo, stomachs are settled and we hang around for the snake village tour which starts at 2pm. The dude from the hostel chucks us in a taxi – there’s 6 of us in the cab and some poor dude has to go on a moped there!
WELL……that was the most exciting taxi ride EVER!!! After having said ‘hmmmm aint seen many accidents around here’ we end up experiencing 2!!!!!!! The taxi bashes into a moped who aint looking, he topples over a bit but is ok. Then the taxi clips this woman’s shoulder with his wingmirror, which then smashes!! Wtf?! Mental times!! The guys in the taxi are 3 irish lads from Dublin – funny lot – 2 had a nite out in edinburgh with one of them going back to livi with some chicks – hahahah – dirty boy!! They’re good craic – Ritchie, Shane and Steven – boyzone practically! The dude who was on the moped was a german lad called Dan.
We gets to Snake village and it’s a bit of letdown……….you go into someone’s front room practically, where this young lad takes out 2 snakes – annoys them for a bit so they get riled up and then become all cobra head esque – shit me right up!! Hello, they can pounce you know?! After that, we cross the road to this place which is all kitted out like an outdoor restaurant. We then get told we’re gonna see some snakes getting butchered in front of us, then we get to drink the vodka and snake’s beating heart and then vodka with snake bile – aaaaaaaaarghhhhhh!!!!
Well, needless to say, its rank!!! Seeing the snakes get sliced open and them draining them of blood and bile – bleurgh! I’m the only chick there so cant be too girlie – aye right!! However, I was man enuff to down the voddie with the snakes heart - dave never did – haha loser!! We get presented with a snake buffet…….interesting I hear you say……well, they basically cook all the snake and present it to us in all manner of ways!!! We had snake deep fried, snake skin, snake ribs, snake wine…….an endless bottomless pit of snake wine – which was rank and you HAD to do it in shots – OMG it was vile…….we went through about 3 bottles of the shite and some of us cant remember leaving 3hours later……
Its proper banter with the irish lads and they’re pretty much doing the same route as us down to NZ – random! We have a laff with the wee local kids, whilst waiting for our taxi and all I can say is, thank god for the photos………as my head goes very fuzzy at this point!!!
