I'll tell you what. I wished I'd cottoned on to this backpacking thing in my 20s. (Well, let me clarify - I did go backpacking with Bridget, Helen and Jess in my 20s, but we stayed in hotels. What fools!) This has got to be the most fun I've in years. Seriously. This hostel and its free tours are the best. Yesterday, the tour advertised on the 'Today's activities' board actually took place. (It was being taken by a Canadian.) It was the graffiti tour that we thought we were waiting for on Tuesday. It was free, and it was amazing. We walked all over the city and saw the most amazing 'street art'. There's this one guy called Sex, whose stuff is so cool.

The tour guide, Ivan, is one of our new best friends. After the graffiti tour he took us up the mountain to the caves. Hmm, I wasn't that impressed. I mean, it's pretty cool that these caves have been turned into houses, but we didn't see the gypsy caves where families have apparently lived for generations. We only saw some smelly people who looked like they'd fallen off the backpackers' trail. Let me tell you, never have I seen so many dredlocks in one city! Anyway, it was a great tour that lasted all day. Well worth the zero euros it cost us. You just wouldn't get a free graffiti tour in a hotel, would you?
