THE BEATLES ARE PLAYING, THE BEATLES ARE PLAYING TONIGHT!!!!!

Or so we were told by the lady at the guest house we found in a little town, do you want to see them? Oh yes please say we, after all they believe in reincarnation around here and her name was Apple, honestly

So after a shower and a beer off we go with Apple to see John, Paul, George and Ringo.

Disapointingly it was the Beetles that were playing not the beatles it was a Stag beetle fight, the tournament had lasted 3 days and this was the last night, a lot of gambling takes place on these fights and prizes given out for 1st 2nd and 3rd place there is an official judge and it is shown on a big screen with tierd seating.

We were the only westerners there and were the centre of attention for a while, even to the point of interviewing us and getting me to do some commentary, photos were taken of us and we assume we made it into the local paper but we will never know.

I,m going to put some photos up but I have to explain the rules, the contest takes place on a log and both beetles are released in the middle, the beetle that pushes the other one off the end of the log wins, as far as we could figure it was the best out of 5 bouts to decide the winner, that beetle goes forward to the next heat, OK got that
