Hahaha - I like your style bro! Yeah in some ways I feel backpacking is not my thing now - I like the adventures but then want an aircon suite with a minibar at the end of the day...:) I just posted the 2nd part of my sailing trip in case u wanna see part 2...:) When I was 17 I hitch hiked around Europe for a year having all kinds of adventures - 3 months in Clifden was part of that adventure.
