The unwritten law of the trip was that what happened on tour stayed on tour. All was going well. A night out in the city, the enjoyment of the local cuisine, the sights and sounds of a city so far from home.
Then they arrived. At first the sound in the distance of motor bikes coming up the mall. The closer they came the more deafening the sound. We stood on the street kerb and watched as they came to where we were standing and roared past only to see the leader turn and they circle back in front of us.
My friend Elyse was captivated. The leader pulled up beside her, she mounted his bike and they rode off leaving me and our party dumbfounded.
The next morning a blushing Elyse arrived back at out hotel. She said nothing. We wondered, but when questioned she reminded us of our unwritten law.

Those unwritten laws will get you every time! Betcha she had a good story too.
I think so, but as you know what happens on tour stays on tour…lol
Was that the case with your European tour too?
As it turned out yes because the tour leader didn’t send out the list of email addresses of those on tour so most people have simply vanished…then again there wasn’t a lot to tell apart from…oops, nearly said it…lol
Ah, come on — I won’t tell you told. Smiling broadly with a wink.
I’m sure you’d love to hear about me going arse over head in front of Notre Dame…
Now that sounds like a story. Any body get a picture or video? YouTube material.
Thankfully no, they all rushed to my aid, I was brave and never let on the extent of my injuries, very impressive bruises I have to say…
That must have hurt if there was extensive bruising. Not so funny after all.
Well the physical bruising was bad enough but the embarrassment of it all still stings….lol, my camera saved me…
There are embarrassments that still make me blush. Did they tease you afterwards? And how did the camera save you. I am intrigued.
Well I carried my camera in front of me and I fell forward and landed on it….
Ouch — did the camera survive without too much bruising?
Thankfully yes, works better than ever…lol
Smiling broadly.
What stays on tour happens on tour eh? I bet Elyse will remember this particular tour for quite some time 😉
I think so too Jade. Thanks for stopping by.
🙂 Good take on the prompt.. LOL
Thank you Su
Nicely done, with depth and intrigue.
Thanks Mike.
The challenge is to use the next prompt to tell us Elyse’s story. Nicely written.
I know, right? He should!
Well, what happens in Vegas… I enjoyed the tale 😀
Sounds like Elyse might have done some hanky panky! Love the analogy that is similar to Las Vegas, Nevada, “What goes on here, stays here,” Lovely story, Michael. I enjoyed reading it!
Very secretive 🙂 But you have to obey those unwritten rules!
Oh! Lucky girl!! 😊😋
Good girls like bad boys.
Sort of rude of the friend to leave her friends, but I guess her knight in black leather arrived for the night. What happens, stays . . .
What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas 😉
I think its safest that way…
