I thought this a bit strange obviously but did what the man said! Found a link to a breaking story at home - in Cork, there's a radio DJ called Neil Prendeville who's on every morning from 9 to 12. He can be best described as a total and utter <insert your own expletive here>. Right wing, always whipping up hate and condemning people for small things. Just an odious human being. But hugely successful and popular. Until now. Because on a recent flight to London, while sitting in the middle of a row, he decided that a spot of impromptu masturbation was in order! Whipped it out and started working away. To the horror of the girl In the window seat and the lad in the aisle seat. Even when the flight crew demanded he stop... he didn't. Karma's a bitch Neil!

So I'd a terrific smile on my face, when I checked my next email from John O'Reilly, an acquaintance from Cork. I'd sent him a link to this blog and wondered what he thought of it. His mail was the following:
Jes*s chri*t, i checked out that blog last night. What the F*ck ?? Seriously what the f*ck.
I can only assume your writing it to impress some bird, or get a job for the national geographic.
You know how I hate learning, and it sounded like you were actually trying to educate, a few pictures would have done ie. here's a seal........didn't need to know its breeding habit.
I sent the link onto Eoin, John Paul and Seanie; here's a selection of their comments
"I hope he gets humped by a whale" - John Paul
"Just looked at Enright's blog on my phone, He's got 47 entries all about the wildlife and people he's met on his travels! I'm not sure who he thinks would be interested in reading it!!" - Seanie
"Does Enright think he's Micheal Palin or something?, There was a thing in the Ross O'Carroll Kelly book about people who send updates of how they are getting on travelling but nobody basically gives a f*ck." - Eoin
Hilarious abuse! I was in tears with laughter. Serious spring in my step now as I set out towards town as I wanted to look around Medellin. Got some juice from a street vendor, saw some statues by Botero and then decided to head to the cable car to get a view of the city. Also the total trip on the cable car took about half an hour and ended up in a forest which was supposed to be lovely.

Juice stall - there's one on every street corner!

And indeed it was lovely. Very quiet cos it's being developed at the moment but there was some nice stuff there. Did a zipline which was fun though it didn't last that long.

Very enjoyable day there, came back to the hostel and into the bar. Couple of drinks and a game of pool with Daniel the sound Aussie barman. Bizarre. Here's a lad working in pubs for a good while and he was completely inept at pool! Like totally rubbish! I had to deliberately miss shots to keep the game going. Shocking.
Finished him off anyway, and headed out to the same pizza place as last night. My motto to eating is simple. Find a place I like and go back there cos I know it's nice! No notion of trying new stuff. Had exactly the same pizza as last night too. Delicious.
Back to the hostel and it was supposed to be quiz night. But there were only about ten guests in the hostel so that couldn't happen. But Daniel had written the whole quiz anyway, and as there were about 8 of us in the bar, he went through all his qns over the next 4 or 5 hours with lads at the bar shouting out the answers. Great craic again and good to meet a few new people. But I was thinking of leaving for a different hostel cos I wasn't overly gone on this hostel. Anke and Mor are moving to a place they'd heard about called Casa Kiwi in the morning so I'll prob go with them. But what a way to finish my time here in the Pit Stop. Up till 4 or so, having great craic with sound people.
Re your philosophy on eating/restaurants... does that apply to countries you like?!
