Yvette’s Wrong Turn

On paper the idea of a pub crawl in an exotic location was a really good idea. 

It wasn’t until they arrived at the first destination that Yvette noticed that the bar was a little bit floaty. 
As the designated maid of honour this was very much on her. 

No matter, she thought as the stilettoed party squeezed aboard; being ferried from pontoon to pontoon by a hunky oarsman would be just the ticket for these flirty, thirsty, feral friends. 

“Wos a pedal powered pub?” puzzled Pamela, her eyelashes catching on the veil that was acting as a makeshift windsock.

Listen to me read it here:

    It’s fun to go down to the levee on a weekend and watch the drunk fools attempt to pedal the bus like contraption to do their bar hopping. Sometimes, they’re so drunk they fall off. What a hoot that is! (evil giggles). At least, I smile, they’re not driving it.

    The stilettoed party squeezed aboard — great imagery. It’s an accident waiting to happen. 😀

    The bride may want a word with the maid of honour here. Still, I’m sure they’ll look back and laugh in a few years! Nice one.

    Sounds like this party is going to get wet before too long. Just watch the stilettos don’t pop an inner tube!

    I started laughing as I saw where the story was going. Loved this description: “flirty, thirsty, feral friends.” I wonder how many stilettos will be going overboard by the time all is said and done.

    I hope their stilettos don’t puncture the floats.

    Love that bit of alliteration toward the end. Quite poetic, coming from slightly plastered Pamela 🙂

    That was just the first destination. Was it also the last I wonder!
