A SINGLETON ON LESBOS ISLAND - The End

Last Night: Being the last night of the holiday, the resort manager organised a farewell party for the guests, so it was time to dress to impress. I gave the good doctor my sailing cap that never got used, with the word “Captain” printed on it. Then went out and bought myself a new, one with the words “Always Obey the Captain.”

At the start of the party the manager was giving out prizes, Iron Man and Triathlon Girl won the men’s and women’s triathlon prizes. Lettuce Man won Casanova of the week, and the Dublin canoeing club, won best drunks of the week.

Then Ray the Rave got on to the stage after just recently coming out of hospital. He praised the benevolent doctor for saving his life and gave her a bouquet of flowers. Then a trophy voted by the guests, for the person they would most like to go on holiday with. She in return presented Ray with a brand new ultra light weight defibrillator, and tickets for him and his mates to the Island’s music festival, which the resort manager had passed to her earlier.

Halfway through the night it got a little confusing when the Dublin canoe club, whilst being on their last drinking mission of their holiday, decided to dress up in authentic Greek dance costumes, and thought they were equally entitled to perform traditional Greek dances, along side the genuine Greek dancers the manager had booked for the evening. It ended up with the two groups merging together, which turned out to be the funniest thing, with the authentic Greek dancers getting drunk with the canoeists, then spending the rest of the night dancing Irish jigs.

The night continued with the good doctor and my self holding hands, drinking largers, champagne and bottles of water. At the end of a fantastic night, the doctor and my self, said good night and our farewells to all our new friends.

As we were leaving Edward Bottle Hands shouted out, Billie, why does the doctor call you Billie Big Banana, the doctor replied, “It’s for me to know and you to find out,” with that we all laughed and went our separate ways.

As the doctor and my self were walking through the gardens with the heavenly stars gazing down on us and the warm breeze from the beach brushing over us, the doctor took hold of me giving me the most sensual kiss. She said, “Would I like to go back to her room for coffee.” She then whispered in my ear, “Billie boy, I really need to examine your banana purely for medical research of course.”

And that is how my week’s holiday ended on the magical Island of Lesbos. It was another week of the weird and wonderful that has made up my life so far, long may it continue…
