Monteal Day 2
Thursday was Bon Jovi concert day. Pete got up and went to the gym. I lazed in bed. Got up and ready by 10am and went for breakfast then went for a walk. We ended up in "the villiage" which is the gay part of Monteal...and you can tell cause even in the shop windows was gay mens clothes. So we got out of there pretty quick.
Went back down by the waterfront and took an Amphobous tour (harbour hopper) which was fun and I made a friend with a little girl, she kept asking her mom if she had an elastic so she could put her hair up and her mom didn't and of course being the nice lady that I am I gave her one of mine. She was a very pretty little girl.
Well it was nearing concert time so we were debating on weather to take the ferry or the metro over to the park where Bon Jovi was going and it was nice out so I suggested the ferry. We got the tickets and boarded the ferry. We were nearing the island and the ferry was passing the island and I was panicing cause I swear I asked for tickets to the island but we wern't stopping there we were going right by it. So the ferry docked elsewhere so me and Pete got off (we should have realized what was going on as we were the only ones who got off..which i thought was only logical as i didn't think we were going to the island as we went right by it). So we got off and I was so upset cause I had no idea how we were to get to the island so we asked a lady and she worked with the ferry and she said that we wern't surposed to get off the ferry that the island was the next stop (now in the map that we had it showed two different ferry crossings..one was straight to the island and one was around the island so i figured we went on the wrong one but no the map was wrong....its all the same ferry ride it just shows 2 different things on the map). Anyway we went back to the ferry and the captain was tapping his watch and looking at us, he of couse knew we wern't surposed to get off but let us anyway, so luckly he waited for us and we proceeded to the island. got off the ferry, found a washroom and then waited in line for the concert. It was a pretty long line but once the gates opened it didn't take that long. There was a guy trying to sell tickets to the people in line and I'm thinking "why would we be standing in line without tickets? Go out side the concert line to sell them". Anyway there was a guy selling water so we bought 4 of them. Was drinking some in the line and still had some left when we got to the gate with 2 in my bag. Well they searched the bags but they only searched for bottles of water. They took the water out of my bag, took the caps off them and then gave me back the open bottles of water....so we each were carrying 2 open bottles of water....what was the point of that? I have no idea why they did that. So i threw out my water as I wasn't carrying around open water with no cap to cover it.
so got in and got some food which was really good, took a seat on the hill and then waiting for the concert to start. There was quite a few people there. It was an amazing concert. I had so much fun. There was a band that played that were probably local or something and then nickelback came on and I started to need the bathroom so I went to use it (porterpotties) and I came back and Pete went and then he came back and I went so it kept going like that till Bon Jovi came on. Pete was in line for the washrooms at that time so I grabbed our stuff and waited in line with him and used it again then we both went up closer to the stage. I got as close as we could to the gate. they had 2 gates I guess...one was up to the stage (and those must have been the Vips or whatever) and then they had another gate and thats where we were. I love Bon Jovi and all but I don't know all of his songs and of couse he played at the first the one I didn't know...then he started singing the ones I did. Man just seeing Bon Jovi in person was awesome. He rocks.
I wanted to go to the souviner tent but the line up as huge the whole time the concert was going on so I didn't get anything.
When the concert was over we followed the rest of the people to the metro as the ferry was shut down by then. Waiting for the metro Pete had to use the washroom as he had beer and he held it the whole time Bon Jovi was on. There are a billion people who use that metro station and we assumed that there would be washrooms in there...but no. So we had to wait for the 2nd train as the 1st one packed up pretty fast. We asked the train guy that was just standing around where the closest bathroom was and he said the 1st stop that the train stops at on the 3rd floor....so we got on the train and got off at the 1st stop and walked to the 3rd floor, there was no washroom, I think by this time Pete was needing a pee so bad that he was in pain (i've had that feeling before and its horriable...but I still couldn't help but laugh). So we asked the security on the 3rd floor where the washroom was and one didn't understand and the other said she thought it was 1 or 2 more floors up.....so up we went. We had to ask another lady and finally we found him a washroom...poor guy, it was quite funny.
So after the washroom fiasco we went outside to go home but we were lost. We walked and walked and finally got out the map and sat on a bench and tried to figure out where we were. these 2 guys were walking and asked us if we where lots and we said "you bet". I guess one of them used to work at a hotel so he felt bad for us and showed us on the map where our hotel was and where we were and told us how to get back. He said it would only be a 15 minute walk, and hour and a half later we found the hotel. We were going to go out that night to the clubs that the guys told us the english people hung out at but after the 2 hour walk we were beat...so off the bed we went.
