When Andrew was doing his transition year in London at the start of the year. He meets few people in London. Two of those lads were Jonathan and nick where Andy did a backpacking trip to Europe with them last summer 2000. They invited us to go to Isle of Man since they're both living in Douglas to celebrate there graduation and at the same time  for the TT race.

Myself and Andy were the last people to arrive and we did miss few activities already. But for just 3 days in Isle of Man we did loads of stuff from putt and hole, camping, party, tour and even casino. But the golf was so hilarious, since it was my first time to handle a golf-club I was able to manage to drop it in the whole perfectly and none of them couldn't believed that it was my first time. But I guess it was just, just luck... and just told them I always played crazy golf....

Isle of Man being in the center of England and Ireland. We still did camping near the sea.  One of the lads did a roast pig good for at least 50 people, but of course there were only approximately 30 or less in there. We all slept in a gazebo with sleeping bags. Thinking it was warm enough for the season I didn't bring any summery or springy coat so I was freezing cold on that camping but it was a good experienced. Everybody loves adventure anyway so everybody enjoyed it.

During our last night in Douglas, we all went to the casino... all dressed up for betting. It was good craic even up to the extent of losing money, but not much. I think my 20 Manx lasted till midnight???
