The day 4 - American Water Football :)

in #summer6 years ago

Yo summer friiks!

I am sad to say that this is my last day on Lastovo island, AKA the island of stars and music.

I had more than a wonderful time here. Really needed this to charge my batteries to cope with life in city where I live in.

As it was our last day, we decided to go back to Mihajla beach and seize the day as much as we can. That being said, we decided to play tournament in beach volleyball and have fun with the ball for playing American Football.

I was here with my 3 friends who play American football with me so we brought the ball because we knew it will provide some good fun, not only for us but for other people around us.

This sport is not that popular in Croatia and a lot of people don't even know it's played in our country. But as we started to jump and have fun, a lot of people started to ask question about this sport and they joined us in catching the ball.

Check out some slide shows on how that looked like.

Looks like some hitch route is here. The ball is coming, will I catch it?

One lev is already in bounds and the focus is on the ball :)

The referee said it was a catch xD

We had so much fun that we felt like kids again. We were jumping, swimming, playing around for 6-7 hours without eating or having rest more than 5 min.

We were joking that we are not kids anymore and no parent will come and say "it's enough for today", so we had to act responsible and finally stop playing around and go eat something. Haha So... Much... Fun!

Then I tried to do somersoult with the ball in my hand so that my other friend can snap a pic from the front to look like I caught it in mid air.

As it turned out, the ball was wet and slippery and it fell off my hand pretty quickly. Take a look...

The ball is already gone here xD haha nice try Spacely, go back to space!

I realizes here that I lost my rotation and if I continue spinning in the same direction, the landing will hurt a bit more than I want :)

Rotate faaaaaster haha yes I can!

Luckily, I am not that fat as I am trying to be so I made a good rotation and made it without any red spots on my chests or back.

Good enough :) 7/10 lol

I have so many pics like this, but I will share these ones just so you can picture what we did. Unfortunatelly, my fans (sister @ylania and my girlfriend) didn't take any pics while we played the tournament in volleyball.

Well, we lost the first game and it was over for us but we gave it all and even got a point for us by heading the ball. That picked up a lot of applause and lost gracefully haha

What can I say more, my friends? It was 4 days of chill and fun. Literally that. I put my problems and stress behind me and really enjoyed this vacation.

For the end of our trip, my sis, my girl, and I will go for 1 day on island of Korcula. That's where I spent my youth during summer days and I can't wait to go back.

I am working lately a lot so I didn't have chance to go there. This one day will be short but I will try to have fun as much as I can.

I can't wait to show you how sea looks there. No Ibiza or Bora Bora can match that. This is Korčula island!

See ya all on the next post from my paradise on Earth.

Stay cool and drink da watah,

Mr. Spacely
