8-0-3!

Gran Canaria is AMAZING! I loved the place! I figured I'd update the world on what went on...hold on to your hats!
The week was quality. I've not had that much fun in years! I don't think I could do it justice fully in a blog! We ate, we drank, we had a party on our balcony! It's safe to say that the 'Lads of 803' were the life and soul of the apartments!
Here is a brief overview of what we got up to...a flavour if you will...
We arrived on Sunday and went immediately to 'the fry up shop'...excellent. Chilled by the pool and went out.
Monday we went to Amadores beach and saw a man nearly die! Monday also saw the start of the world's first 803 golf tournament...CRAZY! Tuesday saw the boys venture to a bar called TROPICANA'S...18euros and that was us set up for drinks all night...Vodka flowed and drinking competitions led by the DJ started...we ended up sitting around in our boxers and it was as if it didn't even matter! beautiful! Naked women everywhere! Wednesday was the day of the BBQ...and the boys party on the balcony! We went down in Cala Nova History that day...
You know what...I'm not doing this justice at all. Suffice it to say the week rocked!
I'd like to change my tone here. Friendship comes and goes in this life but you know you're among proper friends (albeit younger friends) when you don't have to make an effort to enjoy yourself. So, for that...Gentlemen, I thank you.
When you're on holiday it seems easier to befriend people. Have you ever noticed your attitude change? You're more open, you almost SEEK people to be with. It's great. We made some great friends in Puerto Rico and I intend to keep in contact with each of them. Especially the couple over the wall in 804. Great GREAT people. Holiday made me think a lot about how judgemental we can be in every day life and how when we go away from our regular surroundings we seem to give people more of a chance to get in. We let our guard down.
I'd like to encourage this where possible in real life. Yes, it's true it may open us up to being let down more often but I think the bonuses would far outweigh the negatives.
