Jared's POV
Shannons idea of taking a few weeks off in between tours was a great idea. We sure as hell need the break. Solid touring for the past 2 years has been extremely tough on us. I've loved going to new places, meeting new people and exploring different cultures but the pressure of putting on a stellar performance every night does become exhausting to say the least.
We decided to go to South Africa because every time we have been there its always been an awesome experience.
Our travel agent found us a nice little hotel in Durban, right on the beach. A bit of sun, sand and sea is just what the Dr. ordered. Our flight from London landed in Johannesburg at 5pm S.A. time and our transfer to Durban was a 7:30pm flight which meant we would only be landing in Durban at about 9pm.
"Our lay over is longer than our next flight!" Complained Shannon. "I'm hungry. Let's go eat."
"Jeeze Shan, is food all you can think about?"
"Nope." He says popping the p. "There's also beer, sports, music and women. Ooh, I hope we meet some sexy ladies here!"
"Whatever dude. There is a Pizza Hut over there with a not so bad looking female waitress. Go knock yourself out." I say as I look back to my book I'm reading. I honestly am not in the mood for his shenanigans.
"What the fuck is your problem?" He said as he swung his chair to face me.
"Sorry bro, I'm just beat. I just need this holiday to get away from everything. No dramas." I let out a huge sigh as I lean back and stretch in my chair.
"Its all good." Shannon said. "I understand. Soon enough we'll be on the beach, in the sun. Like you said, no drama."
Our flight landed, and our cab took us to our hotel. It was late by the time we finally got to our rooms. Shannon and myself had our own suites.
Tomo decided to go back to the USA to spend time with his wife. He's so whipped!
As soon as I got to my hotel room, I stripped down to my boxers and just crashed into my bed. I was asleep as soon as my head hit the fresh, soft pillow.
It was already 10am when I woke up. The sun was shining so I went to my balcony to see the view...and it was amazing. The salty fresh smell of the sea immediately putting a smile on my face. The sound of the waves crashing near by was the most peaceful sound I've heard in ages.
With a skip in my step I made my way over to the on suite bathroom. As I'm finishing-up doing my hair, a loud knocking on my door echoes through my room.
"Hey bro, get up. Let's go eat!" Shannons voice booms in the hallway.
"Yeah yeah, I'm coming." I say as I grab the room key and leave with Shannon for brunch.
Down in the restaurant, half way through my fruit salad I realize that I forgot my Blackberry in my room.
"Dude, its supposed to be your fucking holiday and you can't go a day without your phone! That's so sad." Shannon comments as I leave the dining room to quickly go back to my room to get my Blackberry.
I walked up to the door to my room but by door was slightly open. Shit, better not be a stalker fan or something!!! But as I stood there I heard a vacuum cleaner, and relaxed. Housekeeping. I opened the door and went to the dresser where my Blackberry was and laughed quietly to myself. The Housekeeping girl obviously hadn't seen or heard me because she was completely obliviously singing along to Night Of The Hunter at the top of her lungs. And she wasn't bad at all! I leaned over and turned the vacuum cleaner off so I could say hi. The expression on her face when she looked at me was priceless!!!,,,,
