But we had such a laugh and every night we stayed in a new place, so that was cool. The hostels and food were class and just the vibe in general with everybody. We all got on so well and you definitely got to know people way better. We visited so many amazing places and the sunsets were unreal. It was one of the best holidays I have ever had in my life and I will always remember it. 75
