DUBROVNIK

Dubrovnik 28 - 30/8

Anticipation was in the air as we bussed down to Dubrovnik to catch up with Sticks and the crew in beautiful Dubrovnik. After a hell walk up about 400 stairs carrying 20kgs worth of luggage in each hand DF was knackered and needed a beer. Eggy and MJ arrived at the pad and a couple of quiet ones were had. Then Jo, Sticks and Stivvy arrived and it was game on! The boys had traveled around Germany together for the World Cup so were in a mood to celebrate the reunion while the girls added more than a touch of class and brains to the group which made for some special times! It took TC and myself a few days to get the lingo down pat but we went through the sesh, had a few moccas and were into the swing of things! pmsl at no-one understanding what I'm talking bout!

Before I go I will clarify a few terms that were in play for the week:
Sesh - absolutely anything e.g"Whats the Sesh Sticks, I'm hanging for a sesh of the sesh..... Yeah lets sesh this sesh and bring on some sesh"................ and that was one that made sense!!!
Mocca - poo that can be described as dirty, steaming, mouldy, festering etc depends on the strength of the meaning.
Chinning - For every dumb comment made 1 person puts a fist no more than 2 inches away from your chin and punches you as hard as they can..... The better the sound the better the chinning!
Thonging - Slapping someone as hard as you can on the rump.... with or without a run-up.

Ok back to the first night...... after putting a few beers away we headed down to the Old Town for a pizza and a few vinos. By 9pm Eggy could not speak, lift his head or actually move without MJś help - very weekend at Bernies like - so the boys decided to help wake him up by throwing him into the harbour and then bomb him for a few minutes. It sorta did the trick and we ended up back home drinking beers and putting young Eggy to bed. I was left drinking bad vodkas and more beers with Sticks and Stiv as we took a time warp back to the early nineties and listened to some of our fav Goo tunes..... 10% Weird, Pennywise, Soundgarden, Spiderbait etc. Woke up the next morning on the floor with Sticks on the couch. Worst hangover I have ever had that lasted 24 hours!!

Day 2 - Took a stroll to the beach and had a dip in the refreshing waters whilst chatting to old Croatian ladies. Hit another beach before heading back to the pad for drinks.... but i put my hand up and was soft as that night and could not touch a drop of alcohol - had a fishermans platter for some chow and then headed to bed whilst the others hit the club for 1 euro tequillas...... piss poor I know........ had to make it up the next day. Special mention to Stiv who picked up Norlane who might have and might not have weighed 150 kilos???? Not sure

Day 3 - For the first time it was overcast so after Eggy had a caraffe of wine for lunch the call was made "Guinness Day!" We headed to the local Irish bar and downed Guiness till we were all a tad messy and arguing over World Justice. Chinnings were the order of the day and many a good blow was landed. It took the girls to rescue us before the boys headed to the club - DF made it this time.... just - and we danced Irish jigs and drank Jager bombs and tequilla till we couldnt drink no more. Stairs home were hard work!

Day 4 -Well we just got up again thanks to the girls who dragged us down to the dock for our ferry trip to Hvar Town - the boys laid down for most of the 7 hour hike while I sat around with the girls and had my first intelligent conversation for many a month...... no offence TC!!!
