Sorry its been a few days since my last ´post, this is mainly because we spent the last couple of days hungover. On saturday night we decided to play drinking games before heading out to the club. This soon turned in to one crazy night with excessive amounts of drinks, dancing and singing with strangers and a live band. We did have plans to go paintballing 10am on Sunday but after getting in at 5:30am we decided against it and instead spent the day hungover in...

There was also a bed in this room so we decided to donate it to the f...
