The tour unexpectedly welcome a celebrity on Monday night at the resort's Zero bar. On an evening that was designed for the father's to get to know each other at the start of the tour; family, work, interest's and those 'special things" that we would not know about each other, there were a number of absolute classic moments, but none greater than one of the touring father's admitting to stardom.
There were notable speaches from Barry Towns, who attempted to explain his late arrival to the buses on sunday morning as a timing test for tour management to see the quality of their preperation; Peter Farrugia gave a demonstration of his ability to drink a schooner whilst standing on his head and Ilkka Tales spoke from experience, with a tear in his eye, of the dangers of handling chilli and then going to the bathroom!
BUT.....the most surprising revelation came from James Campbell who admitted to being regularly mistaken for not one celebrity, but three. First was his likeness to Kevin Costner (who remembers Waterworld?), next came the obvious mistake that people make with his similarity to Nicholas Cage;and the final admission that brought the tour to it's most important point to date was his open admision that he is James Bond! This situation is at it's worst when he is coming our of the surf at Newport beach.
For his honesty, James was made to drink many, many beers.......
So much for an island escape...damn Paparrazzi.
