¡Hola! from the weirdest ´Hostel´ in Europe

I spy a novelty photo or two

sunny 32 °C

Ahoy there all,

Our last entry from Espanola before we embark on the Partner trip and the madness that is the World Cup. The 25er edges closer day by day...

Brief highlights
- Ordering a round of beers at a pub that was pumping like nothing I´ve seen at 6am. Even weirder, this felt entirely appropriate. (Needless to say and true to form I washed up pretty hard though)
- The riot police turning up while we were celebrating with the Barcelona fans after the big win
- Seeing a team of ten year olds playing for Barcelona junior FC outside the Nou Camp throw tantrums (kicking bins, throwing boots) after losing 1-0 (we watched a whole half, it was quality)
- Our current hostel. Remember the tourists who turned up to steal our rooms just as people went home from St. Mary´s after they finished exams, we hated them. Now in Barcelona, we have morphed into those people- this college is brand new and has a pool though, sweet... Although we feel like sellouts and are so far out of the city, it´s hilarious because it´s so weird

Now to the good stuff

Yes in Spain Ricky has been made the patron saint of comedy (For ´What do you think of that? What? Lick It!´ and his Office dance)

The coolest dog ever. We sent it to Tommo but decided you should all share the goodness

Sorry couldn´t pick up a literal Spanish translation a la Pood, but we enjoyed this (going out to Melon for his efforts in Beijing)

On our tour of the Nou Camp, we came across one big fucker

Baltic Novelty Photos Ahoy!

Please leave your maturity at the door

Here are a bunch of photos that aren't of anything in particular but just a few funny signs (that everyone loves). Please do not take offence or think any lower of me than you already do.

For all the soccer fans out there, you can come to Latvia to dine at Drogas. For the non soccer fans, Drogas is the affectionate name given to an English Premier League player Didier Drogba.

This just in, on closer inspection I think Drogas is actually a cosmetics store

Hehe, it says 'tit' and 'anus'. Sorry the immaturity will cease soon

Walking around Tallinn I found these reenactment nerds doing what they do best, going to town on each other with plastic swords

IMGP2472.JPG
Not the best image but you can see the packet in white that says 'Assa Mix' (For Thommo)

IMGP2497.JPG
Some sort of souvineer shop, mainly because I thought the word 'pood' was funny sounding

More 'pood' but naughtier

The crowning glory. After reading about it in Lonely Planet I knew my mission in Estonia was to find this place
