Where do I begin, just back from Ibiza and well it was
certainly an experiance.

Arrived on tuesday night about 1am, got to our room
about 2am. Well done to my mate Lisa who had booked
the accommodation, it was a top floor penthouse
apartment over looking the sea at figuretas? just up
from old Ibiza town. The apartment was typical
apartment style inside not too big then we opened the
curtain and stepped onto the massive balcony which
looked over the beach, this balcony must of been twice
the size of the apartment you could have had a party
for 100 people on there. Anyway we sat on the balcony
looking out over the world for 1/2 an hour or so then
headed to bed.

The next week was a bit of a blur so will just tell
you what I can remember, should have taken notes
really. We got some awesome beach and relaxtion time
in during the daytime, whilst crusing the town for
souviners which i must say there was nothing really
worthy to bring home so don't expect anything, we came
across some really camp Li Lo's with ibiza written on
them, well me and Lisa thought that would suit us to a
tea, floating around on the beaches of Ibiza and in
the hotel's pool. Then in the another store i found
some really loud Hawian swim shorts which i thought
would go great with my Li Lo. got to the beach with
our now ibiza towel, Ibiza Li Lo and ridiculous
boardies and started the blowing up process. We found
this quiet difficult especially with the geezer family
in front of us, just imagine, big fat white dad bald
head in his speedos plumped on the beach next to
rather large teenage daughter redish in colour, taking
a photo of really big white mum with saggy boobs out,
a G-string which we could only see part of, standing
in the water. Oh the memory is disturbing. Getting
back to Del Li Lo (we named them) finallly blew then
up and managed to cruise the beach checking out the
sites and all the gorgeous Spainsh bodies on the
beach. Lisa nearly fell off her Del Li Lo checking out
a Spanish looking adonis.

Next was our first club night, La Troya at Space, this
club Space won best club night in the world or
something like that, so Damo tells me, So we headed to
that, start of the night was ok yet we found the
people a little pretentious and not friendly. we also
discovered that it was 12 bucks for a water, 16 bucks
for a beer, and almost 30 bucks for a vodka redbull,
so we tightened our wallets and sipped our drinks. We
left before it closed and headed to our balcony to
drink, Lisa went to bed after a short while, then me
and Damo drank on to wacth the sunrise until I
discovered our nieghbours had just got home. Quickly
made friends with some BA Flight Attendants, part of
the family of course! then we ended up on thier
balcony dancing and drinking till it got too hot. the
heat actually wore us out so much that we missed the
next nite club we had rostered. oh well plenty more
nites.

Friday day we headed to the a beach which we can't
remember the name of, yet we called it the gay beach,
you catch a little surf life saving dingy thingy
across the bay to another secluded beach. We started
to get closer to the shore and everyone turned there
heads to check out what was coming, then we got closer
and realised that hardly anyone was wearing any
clothes. we disembarked the boat at waist hieght
water, lisa got all her pants wet as she is rather a
short lass. we walked up the beach to find a lovely
little cocktail hut were we sat and enjoyed the view
with a jug of sangria. Then we headed to the beach for
a sun bake, tried to pick somewhere not so naked to
sit, as none of us were prepared to go bare. I headed
in for a swim and asked Lisa to chaparone me, just in
case any of the old naked men got to close. After
about 10 mins sun baking we heard a loud ruckus comign
form up the beach and truned to find about 20
beautiful spanish men in pink short shorts marching
through all the people they ca

Last left you all in a internet cafe in Tallinn the
capital of Estonia, now in London its time to tell you
what went down in the Baltic country that is Estonia.
To wrap it up in a sentence, lovely people, great
food, cheap beer, lots of casinos (small ones), bars
and souvenir shops, and of course crumbed prawns in
thier macdonalds.

After leaving the cafe I hung around town checking out
the souvenirs, don't get excited none of you have
presents coming to you! Finally Erin, Basil and
Cameron turned up in a taxi from the airport a little
flustered after the cab driver ripped them off and was
driving over traffic islands to speedily get them to
their destination. We all checked into the hostel
which was quite nice compared to the cold atmosphere
of the cardboard box.

That afternoon we all went out to a restaurant for
lunch/dinner, the size of the meal determined that it
was both. Massive pork knuckle which we devoured then
all complained of feeling over full. After that we
strolled around town and it started pissing down so
whilst two went for money , me and Erin had noticed
people wearing clear plastic poncho's which looked
like plastic bags yet were keeping them dry, so we
sourced out some ponchos, unfortunately there were no
clear ones left (obviously a town favorite), so we
ended up with purple, aqua, baby blue, you can imagine
the treat we looked strolling through the old cobble
streets in the old town in our Kmart looking nanas
rain poncho's, people were actually pointing and
laughing at us, yet we were dryish. After this we
found an excellent vantage point to take photos, of us
in our ponchos of course, wait for the pictures on
facebook.

Anyhow we had a nana nap and headed out to a few bars
with some other travelers, first stop hostel bar to
drink our byo vodka and then to a bar called stereo
which was all white, we sort of felt out of place as
we did not really match the furniture or surroundings,
although they did have a brilliant idea, if you needed
to go out for a smoke you could grab a blanket wrap
yourself in it and walk out side, I am definitely
suggesting this to the Licensee of the Columbian for
next winter.

Cut a long story short me and Erin were last out again
and left this other backpacker to head back to the
hostel, we got outside and decided we were hungry,
after much discussion of where and what would be open
we decided to ask the garbage man that was passing
collecting garbage with his truck, he didn't speak
much English and def did not understand slurred
Australian, so we got the hand actions out and he
pointed in the other direction so we headed on, asking
randoms on the way, found this skanky looking servo
thing that sold hot food, asked a regular what was the
best and he replied the chicken burrito, we had one
each, was tossed in the microwave and some sauce
added, as I peeled back the gladwrap, it smelt like
the chicken was a little funky, being drunk this did
not concern us we ate it all and then washed it down
and looked for a cab, got in a cab and the spoke no
English(story of our trip)Erin haggle the price by
crossing out the figure he wrote and screaming no in a
really drunk manor and writing what we thought we
should pay, it ended up at a reasonable price for 3am.
On the way back in the car the poor cab driver copped
turn the music up, music louder, and music! - hand
actions pointing up! Then we stopped to let the
garbage truck pass, when Erin decided she would thank
the garbo for the directions, car moving, Erin opens
door and waves and screams taname! tanamm? tannamme!
(she thought she could say thank you in Estonian, but
no one ever understood her) garbo looked confused and
waved her on, whilst the cab driver is getting more
nervous with the door open. Finally reached our place
after about 10 mins and the guy does not understand
stop, Halt!, hand actions again, he stops. Home.... to
the bar below for a night ca

Hi ya,

Just a quickie, arrived in Finland after about 36
hours in transit and hardly any sleep, walked into my
expensive hostel and almost broke down in tears, lets
just say that inside of a cardboard box looked more
appealing. I was thinking of leaving in the morning to
find a better place. slept on it and it didn't seem so
bad in the morning, just the boxiness and the view
onto the construction site made it feel all so eastern
europe.

Was finding it hard to find any like minded
travellers, so took myself to the aussie bar, again
full of Finnish, and 4 sailors, who were quite goood
sorts, was contimplating taking a photo of them to sow
you all, but i resisted

Thought I would do something finnish, so i took myself
all the way across the other side of town to go to a
sauna, well i never seen so many ugly naked men, not
really my scene. Bumped into an aussie who was staying
at the same shamble of a hostel, whats the chances?
thank god though, we both high tailed it out of there
and headed for a drink or 10.

Tryed various bars, no one talked to us, so we found a
nite club, turned out it was a gay nightclub as we
could tell by the hidieous trannys we bumped into when
we walked in. went straight to the other side of the
room and got a few drinks into us, then came the
amercian girl she talked to us, then wouldn't leave us
alone... she got lost somewhere and my friend had a
7am flight and it was 3am so we thought we should head
off. I never really figured out how we got back to the
hostel as all the streets looked the same and i was so
drunk i was closing one eye to focus.

anyhow made it back safe and stumbled into bed, woke
up tasting like a week old dryed up pizza, watered
myself indulged in the free breakfast and packed my
bags for EStonia, and here I am.
