The weather was OK today and Christian and myself had been talked into doing another Ramsay Street tour for Lou and Nadine, so while we were at it we decided to advertise in the hostel and ended up getting a van full of people!
The tour went well, the rain abstained, we managed to see the street and everything else; a good time was had by all.
Today I also became acquainted with two new people at the hostel, Barry and his girlfriend. Barry was from SA, his girlfriend was English and he was having a set to with immigration over his girlfriend staying in the country. Although oddly enough they were flying to New Zealand the next day so I'm not quite sure I understood the whole thing properly. Barry was a typical aussie red neck type, not much between his ears but he started his day by drinking rum for breakfast and the rest follows; his girlfriend, as you can imagine, wasn't exactly the sharpest tool in the box either.
I don't recall the exact ins and outs of it, but I had had a few drinks out (probably with Barry) and arrived back at the hostel sometime mid-evening. I think I was trying to get away from Barry (he was a hanger-on type) and I came across Nadine and Rowan drinking a box of wine and having a chat in the kitchen.
So of course, I joined them for a drink and a chat.
Now, I haven't told you this before, but Nadine is bi-sexual; for reference, she really fancied the bar maid at the bar we were hanging out at with Robin's cousin. She also expressed to me a keen interest in Rowan this particular evening; well to cut a long story short, after a considerable amount of alcohol, Nadine and Rowan were snogging, which was a bit strange. They seemed to be getting on quite well and soon after they both disappeared at about the same time, I don't know what happened between them that night, but well done to Nadine either way!
I admit that I was a little put out at the time, but in hind sight it has cast an entirely new light on Rowan in respect of both Nadine's and my encounter with her.
Could it be that when trashed, Rowan is easily lead? A gay friend of mine once said that everybody had the potential to be sexually promiscuous with either gender, this was on the basis that anybody (in his opinion) could be persuaded, given "the right time, the right place and the right amount of alcohol".
Or perhaps she was bi-curious anyway, or perhaps she is gay and I was just a one off?
Whichever case it is, Rowan's encounter with Nadine noticeably eased my guilt!
