saunas, thai food & balloons

the hangover

























✬ on our day off yesterday we all went to 'saunaworld' in the holiday club hotel. a wonderland of steam rooms, eucalyptus saunas, ice saunas, ice baths, waterslides, jacuzzis and swimming pools, (including one that even goes outside into the snow), we spent the whole afternoon relaxing and pampering our skin and bodies. we were so tranquilised afterwards that jerry and i had to have a siesta!

we then headed out for dinner at the new thai restaurant that our boss has just opened up. the thai chef (and our friend and colleague), toto, cooked up the most delicious feast for us! i had vegetarian spring rolls, tom kai gai (spicy coconut and lemongrass soup) with rice and deep fried banana split. i ate until i was nearly busting out of my little black dress. we started the rounds of shots early and our friend natalia, who's visiting from stockholm, came to join us for pre-party drinks.

the rest of the night is a blur of drinking shots and more shots, pole dancing,
covering peoples mouths and blowing through their nostrils, jumping ahead of people in the line to the toilet because 'i was more busting than them' and knocking on the occupied doors to hurry people along, slipping a hundred times on the ice in my gripless boots, breaking my earrings, loosing my new furry hat, hitch-hiking home (jerry's idea), collapsing in our front entrance and falling asleep in the pile of boots....i woke up with a hangover to rival the one from the movie 'the hangover'.

jesper's been in stockholm all weekend. as a practical joke, the boys bought 1500 balloons and we spent the last few days blowing them up to fill jesper's room as a surprise for when he got back tonight. you could barely open his bedroom door, there were that many balloons and it was so funny watching his reaction! the balloons have now spilt out to fill the whole house and every five seconds you hear the popping sound of balloons bursting.
