How many drunks does it take ...

Here's the philosophical question of the day ... How many drunks does it take to force you to check out of a hostel? Does the type of alcohol consumed make a difference?

Well, yesterday in our case the answer was 8 drunken Englishmen and Australians drinking Fanta and Vodka for seven hours while cranking the hostel's stereo system past its limits with every Rolling Stones song ever produced.

We arrived at Tango Hostel in Cordoba on Sunday morning. They had accidentally given away our double. But no mind, we're flexible so we said dorms are fine. At about that time, a young chap arrived with energy drinks and vodka for his friends (this was about noon) in an effort to shake off the hangover from the previous night.

When we came back to the hostel at 5:30 p.m. it was like we had walked into the Lord of the Flies. After an hour of breaking glass, ridiculous mumblings, rantings and ravings I seriously thought I might actually witness Piggy's demise.

I'm all for partying but this got so out of hand - and with no staff in sight and other guests contemplating their leave - we bailed.

so what rating did this hostel get? ;-) Sounds like quite the vibe... Glad you weren't travelling solo for that experience...
