Hollywood Nights at Zimbali Lodge

 I am still exhausted after a very eventful weekend, hence the reason it is already Wednesday and I am only posting this blog now! Our work function on Friday night was a huge success, but left me wondering why I didn't decide to stick to having two drinks and only getting tipsy. As we arrived at work to catch our bus on Friday afternoon we were met by some legendary Hollywood characters, they included the likes of Charley Chaplin, Ozzy Osborne, The Godfather, Hugh Hefner, Maverick (Top Gun), James Bond and of course the Playboy Bunnies! We were loaded on to two buses and as we started to make our way up the North Coast Highway there was much speculation as to where the event was being held. It was only when we pulled into the driveway at Zimbali Lodge that true excitement mounted as we realised that we were in for a very elaborate evening!

We entered the venue on a red carpet, and were met by life sized Oscar statues as well as photographers to capture our true Hollywood moments. The evening started off with champagne which was followed by the most delectable appetizers. At this point the cocktails started to flow and everyone started to feel far more relaxed and sociable. This was followed by a rather embarrassing moment for one of my colleagues who ended up in one of the ponds on the deck. This was only at about 8pm, so you can imagine how the rest of the evening turned out!

The food was magnificent and the DJ had everyone on the dance floor the whole evening. A few too many shooters were had by all as well as a few too many embarrassing moments. I woke up the following morning with a very fuzzy head trying to recount the events of the previous evening to make sure that I had not embarrassed myself. Fortunately I don't think I was the only one who was a little over zealous with the tequilas!!

The Bunny's are on the dance floor!

Pictures speak a thousand words, so here are a few of the decent ones. (I didn't think it would be wise to post too many of the incriminating photos!)  

Later on in the evening
