What doesn't kill u, makes u stronger

So my educated friends,

this could well be the last diary entry of 2009 - or is it?

I gotta say, i have never had such a gr8 holiday and that's says alot for the Jimbo tours trademark.

Normally G. Budd's holly bops goes like this:

Eat very little, Drink a lot, Become agitated, Get ill, Finish the holiday as an absolute wreck.

This time cos i went nautics in the Baltics -

i basically couldn't stop eating (Ross i'd would have beaten u into submission), Loved the factual based walking tours, Met some superb people out there, Went dancing for 4 hrs and felt fine, Drunk loads (and could have squeezed more in), Never felt healthier, Came back home and almost cried as i wanted to stay out there.

This is the greatest advert i can give Jimbo tours and anyone that hasn't tried one hasn't lived.

So wot did i learn?

1)  Shauny G loves Coral bookmakers (and his new gay i-phone)

2)  Johnny O'D is still the Tom Cruise of the tour (does a couple of class acts but then fades out in his latter days)

3)  Danny loves to take the same photo 3 times over and doesn't often lose a drinking game

4)  James is the best captain (Roy Keane type - always up for it and demands 110 per cent from his troops) and after this performance will be forever hailed as the Baltic King. They virtually carried him out shoulder high from Riga!

5)  And never write the English off - we aren't all beer swilling yobs and i think us lot can be proud that we tried our best to improve European relations with this part of the world. Oh and the Dutch know loads about English non league football

So in general, I'm back home, I'm hating it and I can't wait for the next Jimbo tours!
