Everyone should have a holiday!

I've just recently got back from holiday and I say this every time I go away but I think this one really was the best holiday ever.... or at least the best summer holiday!

Everyone should have a holiday at least once a year, even if you have to save all year for it, but for gods sake make sure you book at least 10 days, as I've been on a few holidays with friends now and if there is one thing you learn, its a week is never enough! (I never learn!)

This year I went to Zante in Greece, Laganas to be precise! The credit, however, has to go to Valentina and Emma, my best mates ex-girlfriends, as the only reason we went on this holiday was they both split up with their boyfriends (strangely on the same day), and like a phoenix that has risen from the ashes of an unfortunate occurrence, we jetted off on a lads holiday!

Holiday stories are never as funny when they're retold, as its definitely one of those "you had to be there" situations, so I'm not gonna bore you with a day to description of every piss and shit I took in Greece but there were definitely some awesome moments which need to be shared!

An epic game of human buck-a-roo!

Zante is wicked by the way, so if you're thinking of going there next year, DO IT! It's got plenty of bars and clubs, drinks aren't too expensive, there's plenty to do during the day and there are loads of tourists from all over which make for a great atmosphere (Am I getting paid for this review?)

We booked a 2wenties package,which worked out really well as they sort everything out for you all week, although you have to pay for most things which is a bit cheeky seen as its already cost you better part of a monkey (£500) but its worth doing just for the booze cruise!

One of the best days I had was on the booze cruise, where a ton of like-minded party-goers all get on a giant boat with some reps, a DJ and plenty of alcohol and sail around for 6 hours! WICKED! Plus they stop at a little island away from everything and you play games on the beach or (as we did) pay for watersports... Jet ski's rock!

I think it must be the sun or alcohol or the fact that everyone is there for a good time for the reason that you make so many friends when you're holiday, and thank god for facebook because it means you can stalk people when you get home, although chances are you'll never see these people again, but at least you can say you know people everywhere!

The same could be said for holiday romances, which god forbid I should ever experience must be horrible. Someone described them as "the shortest relationships of your life which always end in heartbreak", which is especially true if its somewhere on the other side of the planet like America or Norway ;) or Scotland . . . where the hell is that place anyway?!

The holiday wasn't just about hooking up with girls or getting pissed, although that did feature on the agenda, and we came home with some standard holiday quotes, such as "guys, what the fuck?" and "never get the cockey out!" following Dan's third lap dance, at which point the pressure simply got too much for the poor boy and he couldn't keep his feelings in any longer :)

Ok, I cant finish this without badmouthing at least one thing... The Albatros Hotel are w*nkers! The security guard was constantly a massive cock block, which we all know is a sin, not to mention highly illegal in the Man Rule Book and when we left the manager charged me 20 Euro's for changing in the hotel. WTF!
The rooms were average apart from the fact you were virtually stood in the toilet when you showered, so if you get the chance, then feel free to launch a half eaten burger or slice of pizza at the reception!

I recorded an hour and a half's worth of videos while I was there and as soon as I edit them down into one awesome montage you can watch it here.... Your welcome!
