Day 18 - Damai Beach Borneo - Arcade games and vodka buckets



I got up early today rounded the troops and made our way to breakfast. After this we all headed to the pool for an hour or two but it was cloudy so we went for a walk to the food court again and found the most amazing little arcade game. Colour ball thunder bolt. 

Gambling is illegal in Malaysia but it seems that they have a way around it. We watched for a while then decided TSL needed to be involved. We managed to speak to a local and he explained the rules. Basically you pay some random guy for some cans of coke, you then place your cans on coloured squares, eight balls are then dropped through some nails, first to get there is the winner and then if your can is on the corresponding square you win 6 cans for every one you put down. If you get 24 plus cans you get a cone, when I can upload pictures you will see what I mean. Once you have accumulated enough cans you can exchange them for prizes. We got so lucky so we swapped for some chocolate biscuits. Simple things :) 

After a few more games we handed in our cans so we could come back later. We headed back to the chalet and I skyped my mum, dad and aunty. It was so great to see them, if feels like I have been away ages and I still have so long to go. We then all got changed ready for dinner and drinking. The little local bar we found did vodka buckets. One bottle of vodka and a can of coke in a bucket. 6 of these later and we were pushing Mel back over the fence, she then fell over and smashed her head on a rock. Mummy mode kicked in and I spent the next few hours checking she was still breathing.
