Koff, Satu & Jaga... Jimbotours drinking kicks off!
Following on from our random FA Cup final experience with the Finnish division of the Chelsea Headhunter`s we decided enough was enough in Helsinki and made our way to Talin - Estonia... A cheeky local beer (Satu) on the ferry set us up for the arrival of G-Budd!
Got checked in to our Hostel which is complete with its own music lounge! Shauny G`s heaven... though it almost went sour very quickly when I swiftly managed to break a string on one of their guitars. Bit of the Brit charm and we were back in the good books.
Headed into town for a wander and grabbed a couple of beers in the most moody looking Irish pub in history - bar staff just didn`t want to know - and found out that another cheeky footie bet had come in courtesy of G-Budd`s vast football knowledge... more dough for the whip!
Enter the arrival of the Austrian Prince into the wierd and wacky world of Jimbotours... a quick shower, a stop off for a Rat Burger (Talin has a lot to learn about fastfood - 2/10) and we were in for a large one!
Headed straight for the Beer House for a Stein of the local brew which was rudely interupted by a member of the pissed Russian mafia equipped with his 500euro sunglasses who fancied a taste of Johnny`s beer which prompted a swift departure...
We headed North up the street to get away from the beer thieving Russain and stumbled on to a live jazz band who were well up for it... G-Budd & Johnny felt right at home cos the locals all danced just like them - crazy kids...
Bumped into the lads who worked at our hostel along with Gary Neville and Gok Wan lookalikes and headed on for a late night drink in a proper local bar... G-Budd recruited a Korean into the East London team, Shauny G got told by tour leader of the year 2009 that his iPhone was gay and Gary Neville looked well moody.
Stopped off for a Jacket Potato and ropey hotdog and made for bed... apart from Shuny G who had a dude in his bed already - game over!
Feeling remarkably fresh this morning and getting ready for our next stop via plane... where we end up only Jimbo knows!!
Roll on stop number 3!
