Part 4 - The Party

So we arrived in at 14.24pm - we have the certificates to prove it

After the finish we showered - boy was that good.  Esther got a nap and I did laundry as I was leaving the following day.  The Ramsay's had booked a table for dinner at 7pm and all too soon it was time to get ready and head to the Drunken Goat for great Greek food.  It seemed odd to be sitting at a table eating a whole plate of food again.

Next stop was the Downtown Saloon for sourtoe shots.  You can drink it fast, you can drink it slow, but your lips have gotta touch the toe.  You really do have a drink with a human toe in it (no longer attached to the human).  The toe isn't bad but the sweetened rye that it's in is pretty terrible.

11.30pm and it's still as light as day and we are heading to Diamond Tooth Gerties.  They have dancing girls and a rather odd casino,

 almost dark.

1.30 am and its bright as day again and we call it a day as tomorrow we have the finishers dinner and my flight home!  In the morning I discover that the hotel don't actually have a shuttle to the airport (as they told me in an email) and they unhelpfully do not assist in working out how I will get to the airport - Don't stay at the Westmark Inn - they lie, don't care and then don't have the decency to respond to your complaint.  Thank you to Husky Bus for selling me a ticket for the floor of the bus (and even having a bus big enough for me to have a seat).

Its worth a couple of pictures of Dawson airport - its a single room airport with a gravel strip and 1/2 the plane was taken up with Questers going home.

All too soon I was home with just the memories and war stories to tell my colleagues at work.  Would I do it again - if you asked me immediately I'd say no but I am already in the process of talking Dan round.

Esther is still somewhere in Canada and I'm sure has had many more amazing adventures (not all of it with her luggage).
