Hey everyone back home, i have some really startling news... on this crazy island of Ios I, Rebecca Headon, of lightweight drinking ability and famous for her slogan knickers is considered a responsible and sensible individual.... riddle me that?!perhaps its because i dont get absolutely shit faced every night (or even once since i got here to be honest) maybe its becuase i refuse to stay out super late so the hot barman might give me points for effort and come down off his high horse to give me the time of day (or of dawn) or maybe its becuase i seem to be pretty happy being chilled out and doing activities during the day... this definitely sigifies that i have not been hitting it hard as the beaches are empty until 2pm most days... i couldnt do that, its so beautiful here that staying in bed even with a ragin hangover seems just rude!
the girl i live with aoife is a scream. her step sister came over for 2 weeks yesterday. clare (her sis) was all talk about chilling out taking it easy and not going mental. so imagine my surprise when i came upon them at harmony (super chilled out mexican place over looking the bay) totally hammered on thailand style buckets of booze, they had 6 over the course of the evening and were completely written off by 11.30pm when i had to guide them towards the bus! it was a fun evening though, i ticked another thing off my list... jumping off the rocks at sunset at harmony and going for a swim... the water was like a lake and you could see the bottom.... 30 metres down.. beautiful, and it was so warm...the only thing disrupting the water were the watersports staff taking one of their own out water skiing, but that was nice, you could get the fear pretty easily.. swimmig alone etc..i watch too many horror movies, but apparently i got lucky getting out of the water, there are hundreds of sea urchins there and the locals even swim with sea shoes on cos if you stand on one of those bad boys you will be limping for weeks... not a goo look for finland!
today i have been on the beach for ages and the girls are dying, even more of a reason not to go too mental on this island! although that said tomo is Irish Day... cue the maddness., and the day after is my birthday - may god help us all (diving will have to wait another few days!)

I always knew there was a responsible adult lurking deep inside you. Just don't let her take over completely.
