Portugal 2014!

Lololol, the weirdest feeling ever!

Before heading to the strip :) (those are lemonades and fake cigarettes)

 

Para-gliding, absolutely amazing.

My main girls (except Rach, the photographer) on the most beautiful beach ever <3.


Hey hey :)

So even though my friends and I went to Albufeira in Portugal way back in June, I am feeling a bit nostalgic about it so decided to do a #ThrowbackTuesday, because its not Thursday yet :)
The day after finishing my leaving cert, four of my best friends from my secondary school and I jetted of to the BEAUTIFUL Albufeira for one amazing week of sun, sea and sambuka's :D Hey after two weeks of intense exams, we deserved it! To avoid the SUPER crazy shananigans of the likes of Magaluf and Santa Ponsa, we decided to go to somewhere slightly calmer, little did we know that it would be every bit as cray cray and wild (hence the lack of night-time photo's lol), not to our disappointment, as post-leaving cert-ers!

As much fun as the drunken night-time antics were, I have to admit that, despite the permanent hangover, the day time activities were definitely my favourite part! We managed to fit everything from Para-gliding, Banana-boating, mini-golfing, water-parking,  fish pedicuring, and even tattoo-getting (not for low-pain-threshold Jenni, by the way) into one short week!

 Although there was the occasional mishap like the losing of tenners, passports, shoes and even phones, I wouldn't change a thing about it! Yes I might have dropped my friends water-proof camera into the sea whilst pedal-boating, but even then the lovely town-folk managed to help us look for it and returned it to us two days later when they recognised us on the beach :) And yes, I may have dropped a fifty euro note out of our 7 story balcony into the busy streets below, never to be found again, whilst cleaning out my backpack, but I managed to survive without expensive dinners for the week! And I guess I wasn't having that much fun when I was full sure that the huge shadow in the water whilst para-gliding was a whale and experienced a minor panick attack - mid-air, only to discover it was in fact the shadow of the parachute above us, but I lived :) And okay sure, I did forget to put on suncream one day and ended up with feet literally the size of water-melons and had to sleep upright with my two swollen ankles in two huge cooking pots full of cold water, but in the end, every one else seemed to get a kick out of the fact that I had to walk for 2 days afterwards with crutches, and isn't that whats really important? :)

All in all, it was an amazing holiday spent with amazing people, and I would recommend anyone to go on a girls holiday if you're ever in need of a de-stress or just a groovy time, you wont regret it :) Anywho thanks for reading, see yaaa <3
