Back from Holiday and the completion of lvl 3

I got back from my Holiday to Tunesia yesterday and am glad to be home again. The vacation was great. The first day in tunisia was a bit awkward. Going to a foreign country always involves some adjustments to their culture, food, language and stuff, and this time was no different.
My girlfriend is blonde and they really like blonde girls there, so there was a lot of staring and drewling, which made us feel very uncomfortable to say the least.
Next, we went looking for a restaurant to eat which wasn't very easy, but we found a decent looking restaurant in the end. Not knowing anything about tunesian food we desided that a mixed grill would be a safe option, but that turned out to be the worst diner i ever had in a restaurant. We went to eat at our own hotel the day after, where the food turned out to be very decent and never went anywhere else after that.
The beach and pool were very nice, so we picked up a nice little teint. At the end of our vacation some of the locals even thought i was arabic (WTF?)
We went on a safari half-way through our holiday which was awesome. We had to ride the bus a lot, but that was all worth it.
We got to ride a camel to see the sunset in the sahara dessert which was an amazing experience. The next morning we watched the sun rise again on a massive dried out salt lake which was pretty cool aswell. After that we went for a Jeep ride through the dessert which was a total blast. Got a bit of a Paris-Dacard experience there.
All-in-all. The vacation turned out to be very nice, once we got used to the people and culture.

Back to poker!

i didn't play any, untill today. And i'm very glad to say i finally managed to complete lvl 3 of my challenge. I say finally, but i finished this lvl in 6664 hands which is pretty fast. I will post my stats for the lvl and graph somewhere tomorrow.
I'm pretty tired now, i will go to sleep once Federer beats Djokovic which hopefull only takes him 3 sets. he's up 7-6 7-6 5-4 right now.

I'm very happy with the completion of the 3rd lvl. Finishing it means i can start playing 100nl, which means i canstart making a bit of money during the challenge. playing poker is fun, but making money is what it's all about in the end. winning 15 buyins means winning 1500$ which is pretty nice money.

Good night!

( federer just misses his first matchpoint and now has his 2nd)
