So I have been traveling with Chrissy for the past week and have been to London, Faro, LAGOS, Lisbon, Barcelona and now Germany. I do not want to repeat what Chrissy said so i will fill you in on what she left out. First of all my luggage got lost... but I have it now so things are good and secondly I think I might of refractured my foot... and I had an allergic reaction to a wetsuit... but it was still the best week ever! Read on...
Lagos is a blackhole, and very properly named. The first day we were there we wore ourselves out by walking everywhere and making a late visit to the beach (at like 7 pm but it was still very light outside. The next day we went on a hunt for internet to check my bank and we found an "Aussie BBQ"... what is an "Aussie BBQ" you ask??? Yeah so did we, and apparently it is when an Aussie cooks your food on the grill. It was only €6 for a HUGE plate of amazing food and free sangria. We met a few people and found out where to go to that night. We were headed back to take a shower and change out of our bathing suits when one of the girls we met told us to go into a bar for a free beer... come on who walks away from free beer??? Not these two Texas girls!! We became friendly with the bartenders (one named Ryan who could of passed for the guy who plays wolverine in Xman... yeah he was pretty!). We had a few more drinks before going back to our place to shower and go out. We went back to the bar where drinks were flowing and it seemed girls were free, or well I think people were so struck with our names being Prissy and Chrissy helped out. So the night progressed and the bar tenders become more liberal with their pouring, and then it was time to move on, where it seems we had a heard of guys that were willing to accompany us to the next stop... the next stop being a bar that is known for its fish bowl drinks... and when I say fish bowl I mean a BOWL big enough to put ur head in... and theys boughts us two... oops... Needless to say we had to push our SCUBA trip back a day. I had a wonderful time SCUBA diving, the first dive wasnt great but the second was AMAZING.
Never go to Lisbon... that is all I have to say.
Barcelona was great, and it was MY bright idea to go to the beach at 5am... sounded fun! The people we met there were so fun and the city has so much to do and see. It was really wonderful and no pictures or post cards do it any justice.
But I am glad I got to unpack and I do not have to carry my luggage for awhile, 4 airlines in one week... pretty crazy!!
I will leave you with some random quotes from our trips; "Beer bongs are good for the liver and they make you live longer" (a sign from Lagos) "Would you like to do an Aussie exchange??" (Jai the Aussie from the hostal) "Hey.... we should so climb up there!" (Random drunk guy in Barcelona) "Prissy and Chrissy... what is this the twilight zone??" (Random Lagos guy...nicknamed Blondie) "Umm, why is the metro underground?" (me and chrissy in barcelona) "Did you get cash??" (me to chrissy after 10 minutes in a taxi... the answer was no)
I hope the rest of the trip is going to be as amazing was last week!! But hopefully more sleep and more food is involved.
