Crazy Estonians

Well Wednesday night was a bit boring.
I tried to earn some money but still the same old story - disaster. And two Estonians who i met were also tired. But luckily for me there is more than two of them here and i got together with the third one as well. So we drank few bottles of beer, walked around the city and were talking with random people. After that we went to a square were my Argentinian host was and i went to his place again.

Thursday was already better. I slept until 3 pm again and visited Internet cafe. After i earned some money and surprisingly it was a bit better. Then around 9 pm i got together with Estonians and drank beer again. But this time a bit more than usually. Then they got tired because they had been up since 6 am.
I returned to one of the main squares were was my Argentinian friend. Like I've told you before he is a juggler. And every Thursday night, a group of jugglers get together, practice and drink together.
So in that evening we had a truly multi cultural and national group. There was  people from Argentina, Spain, Portugal, Italy, France, chili, Brazil, Belgium, me from Estonia and even the Pakistani guy who always tried to sell beer for us.
I started talking with one Spanish girl and at one moment she asked whats my favorite drink. When i answered that its tequila she instantly grabbed my hand and dragged me to the closest bar. So we had some good tequila shots, after what we returned to the square and had some good time.

Friday was already an awesome day. After i left from my host place i went to my home bar again to have coffee. When i walked in, two girls from the states already noticed my sign and smiled. Well then i already knew that its just a matter of time before they come to talk with me (or if they had been too shy i would gone there myself). Then they started talking with me and they also asked if i make any friends on the road and i answer that i make a lot of friends. And they were a bit surprised about that. Then the best possible thing happened. First one regular walked in and gave me a greeting handshake and asked how I'm doing, then one worker walked in and the same happened and then the owner of the bar. But that's not the end yet. Ten seconds after that, my Estonian friends called me and said that they want to meet. This all happened in the course of one and a half minute and the girls were just speechless. I have to say that it felt damn good.
I got together with the Estonians and they had with them a lot of beer and sangria already. So we drank them on the square and we were just talking how much we don't miss Estonia. One of the lovely things about Spain is also that the alcohol is cheaper here than water and food.
For example i pay for 0,33 canned beer 16 cents in the supermarket. And one tomato or banana costs 22 cents in the supermarket. But this is just one small reason why we love Spain so much.
And then the British girls messaged me and i called back. Then we made plans to get together in the night and have a little party. So the plan for us guys was clear. To stop drinking, get sober and eat something.

Before we get to the evening i will give you some photos from Valencia.




In the evening we met again and had little bit of sangria just to get a good mood before we meet the girls. Unfortunately the weather wasn't the best in the evening. It was very windy with a little bit of rain. And when we got together with the girls they were a bit disappointed that we are going to drink outside. Actually even so disappointed that at first they said that they are just going to stay for 10 minutes. But then with my sad face and puppy eyes i was able to change their mind. At first they said that they are going to have just one drink with us.
Then at one moment one Spanish guy came to talk with us. But unfortunately by that time the Estonian who speaks Spanish was way too drunk already. So we got a joke that our translator is drunk and is not able to translate. And then he decided that its a good idea to go home before anything else happens.
We actually had so good time together that the girls stayed longer than they planned and their drink lasted very long. Then at one moment the girls went home as well and there was only me and one other Estonian. The last thing both of us remember is that we were both looking towards the bottle and saying that we still have little bit left.
We both have no idea what happened but i woke up in the Estonians place. But that's not the mind puzzeling part. At one moment he came to me and said that he had a bag full of tomato's in his bag. And by this time we don't know from where or how we got them.

Saturday was actually not so good day for me. In the morning when i woke up i said to guys that my mouth is very dry and please bring me some liquid. They brought me a six pack of beers. So you know where that is going.
Later i went out and had two more beers. Then while i was heading to the supermarket to get some food. Then i saw the girls again and even they said that i smell like alcohol. But they were still smiling and happy to see me. I was also happy to see them but it wasn't something i wished to happen at that time.
At some moment i got sober and went to earn some money but just for 15 minutes. Then the Estonians called and wanted to meet again. So we drank rum, beer and sangria again. Until one moment we went to their place were we kept on drinking until we were so tired that we went to sleep.

Sunday much happened actually. In the morning Estonians gave me few beers before i was leaving. I went to a park to drink beer. Had another good think about my life, poored away all the alcohol that i still had ( I have been actually doing that a lot in the recent months) and went to sleep.
I slept until 6 pm and then went to Internet cafe. After that the Estonians already called and we met again. But this time all of us had pretty much enough from alcohol and just had few small beers.
And my Argentinian host was back so i went to sleep in his place.

Monday was a very special day. In the morning my best friend called me and said that he will be in Valencia in the next 7 hours. So i went to Internet cafe and just killed time by walking around the city until he arrived. Then i went to the bus station to pick him up. After that i took him to the supermarket to show him the amazing cheap prices and his jaw dropped when he saw the alcohol prices. Then he bought a twelve pack for 2 euros and 80 cents and we started drinking and catching up.
Later in the evening we got together with other Estonians and one Italian girl as well and had a good night again. But we slept outside because i didn't knew anybody who could host us both. But he was still happy.

And now today. We had a good breakfast together that lasted for two hours.





 While we were having our breakfast the police joined with us as well. They told us that in Spain its forbidden to carry any type of knife with you. And honestly i wouldn't surprise if with that they also mean a wooden butter knife.
And after that I've been working on my blog post.

Today we will get together with the British girls and maybe have some drinks as well. And then we will leave tomorrow. And yes he is starting to walk with me as well.

So far 2931 km.
