| DAYTRIP TO NECKER ISLAND |
| Antigua bound we were |
 |
 |
 |
| We flew from Antigua on the 9th After one of the craziest days in my somewhat active life we set off on a speedboat to a tiny idland that had decent food we were told The Last Resort ! Well when a donkey stuck its head through the bloody window (see below) I thought Jeremy Beadle was going to pop out, but alas no, this Donkey indeed, lived on the Island Leigh ironically wore her Bermuda Triangle Sun Hat she got in Newcastle, I wondered how many of these hats had actually been worn there as were were informed the BVI's was in it! I ended up Collapsing, I was 2 stone lighter, couldn't eat, was tired out, but at least we had somehow managed to avoid total disaster The Last Resort staff told how Sir Richard has dragged them to Necker to Party and he was some what of a local hero ! |

 |
 |
| Not many know the story behind how Sir Richard saved this parrot. Myself and Leigh do now after Fiona told us the fond story, on our unforgettable tour |
 |
| Words escape Necker. Thats as much as I can really say on it, Yorkshire floors ! The logistics of the place were incredible I did find the story about the only air conditioning on the Island quite amusing ! I found the natural winds blowing through the rooms was the way it should be But thats what makes us all different, some of us have ideas about haircuts, others sell Windows |
| My best pal, long Suffering 'Cher' Lookalike John Lambton didn't want Blackpool Rock brought back he wanted Necker Rock ! So after slightly holding up Benu, I raided Turtle Beach, gave Fiona Genuine thanks and a kiss on the cheek, and headed back to Beef Island feeling somewhat odd On the Radio some poor soul said ' Harbour Control we have a man onboard who has just been stung by a jellyfish' please advise, we are a long way out and have no medicine' A reply wasn't long in coming ' Yooo Maaan, you gonna have to piss on da sting man, jelly fish bites hate Urine ! You really do see it all in a day you know |
| sadly leaving Tortola Airport Behind OH AND SIR RICHARD BRANSON HAD GONE AWAY TO A DO A GLABAL TV ENTREPENEURS SHOW !!! AS WE HAD ARRIVED ON BEEF ISLAND HE WAS DEPARTING |
| We departed Gatwick Airport on 6th August 2004 and had a tour booked on 10th August, booked through Laura Janine |
| We sailed off to Necker on Benu's boat and Arlene was so ill she was making fish food by the time we reached the Island |
