Bromantic Vacation

As I had some spare time I convinced a good friend of mine to book a trip to Fuerteventura, Spain with me. To be more specific we went to one of those German all inclusive clubs where you go to a foreign country just to remain on the property of the hotel and stay amongst Germans all the time. Well... at least we treated it like an all inclusive hotel although the drinks (after dinner) weren't included which resulted in a decent final bill for which we could have almost afforded another vacation.

I would (at least partly) blame the pretty awesome people we met there for that. There was this couple from Switzerland who both worked for a bank and of course all the prejudices about them being big spenders came up... but already during our first bottle of champagne they convinced us that they are pretty laid back. All kidding aside they were great fun which lead to several people mentioning that they will "hear us tonight"... basically telling us that we had the most fun at the dinner table and people noticed. Yes... I'm quite loud... I know. But from our interesting discussions about such fun topics as the Stockholm syndrome everybody could learn. (#thatshowyouflirt) Someone even got that exact question during a quiz the same week. I love to help...

The main thing we wanted to do during the vacation was sailing though. Which we did. We even brought two GoPros along to share some of the coolest catamaran footage ever... problem being that we couldn't do anything cool as there was way too little wind for that. The most noticeable thing we did was almost stranding on the beach in the middle of the zone for swimmers as they forced us to start backwards which is a pretty dumb idea with no wind. The instructor apologized for the order and we didn't hit nobody... so just pretty embarrassing.

Due to the lack of wind we also tried other activities like stand-up paddling. Everybody mentions that it is a great full body work out and I have to agree. You crunch your whole body when you fall into the water. You train your legs and arms when swimming back to the board and getting back on it is just like a muscle up. I had plenty of repetitions of that workout. Let's just say that the open Atlantic is not the best surrounding for doing stand-up paddling for the first time. Of course people were once again watching... but I think this was also not what we got most famous for.
So some people may have thought we are loud, don't know how to sail and aren't able to stand on a board... but most probably most of them thought my buddy and I are dating. Why? Well... we

• wore matching caps most of the day
• had the same shirt for sailing every time
• shared the room
• rubbed sunscreen on each others back in public (thanks bro!)
• and danced together to "how deep is your love"

We may have been misleading but as one girl mentioned that my buddy was the hottest guy in the hotel I guess the girls were pretty jealous of me...  I take that as a win! 

PS: Random question at the end. Did you order too many rum&cokes before if you order "just a Fanta" and you get a rum&Fanta??
