Evening at the 'flicks'
AJAYA'S CRUISE

Two locations on the river offer a 'movie
night' - we (the Monkey Bay eight) went to the one at Tortugal's marina &
restaurant last Friday where Q50 (£4.25) buys you a free pick-up and
drop off in the restaurant's launcha, a beer on arrival then
a green salad followed by 2 large slices of pizza. (a launcha by
the way is a long narrow GRP outboard driven launch for transporting
people or goods very quickly -see pic). We then took our seats for the
movie.
This week's offering was 'SALT' starring
Angelina Jolie in a rip-roaring action packed thriller about CIA goodies and
baddies, with Russian spies, counter spies and under the counter
spies, all seeming to have superhuman strength but Ms Jolie, in true
Hollywood tradition was stronger than any of them.
Halfway through the film the resident restaurant dog (an
interesting breed the name of which escapes us) was wandering around in the dark
and in danger of pulling out the speaker wires. Also a very large black
bug landed in the middle of the screen where it sat for the
remainder of the film occasionally becoming overlaid on various parts of Ms
Jolie's anatomy. We must go again one evening.
Off to the movies (thanks for the shirt Tom - fits
a treat!)
Tortugal's dock.........

brush)
Pizza time on an interestingly painted table
