Europe’s Biggest Party

Yuuri Katsuki/Victor Nikiforov

2,351 words

AO3 link

Victor loves Eurovision and no one can convince me otherwise. Dedicated to @clairles who I’ve spent most of the past week screaming about Eurovision with.

(I rewatched practically all of the final for this, send help)

13 May, 21:45

Victor renamed the chat Europe’s Biggest Party

Victor added Yuuri Katsuki, Yuri Plisestsky, Emil Nekola, Christophe Giacometti, Michele Crispino and Sara Crispino

Victor: IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN

Yuuri: ...what is it?

Victor: IT’S EUROVISION

Yuuri: oh

Yuuri: that’s the singing competition right?

Victor: Yes! I know we’re not all partying together but we can still scream over messages

Christophe: Russia aren't even competing this year though?

Victor: Yes I am aware, we're still going to watch it though because it's Eurovision and we must

Victor: And stfu Chris, Switzerland didn’t get past the semis with your entrant who looked like she’d stolen the dress from Beauty and the Beast

Emil: Czech Republic didn’t get to the finals either *sobs*

Michele: Italy did!

Victor: Italy pays to be there.

Yuuri: I’m confused?

Victor: Italy is part of the “Big 5”, which is the five counties (Germany, Spain, France, Italy and the UK) that make the biggest financial contributions to the European Broadcasting Union. They, along with the host nation, automatically get into the final

Yuuri: Oh I see!

Yuri added Otabek Altin

Victor: what’s he doing here Kazakhstan wasn’t invited

Yuri: Japan wasn’t either yet Katsudon is here

Yuri: Anyway he’s here watching it with me so I thought I might as well add him

Punta day 1: recap

Ok so I’m the absolute worst and didn’t blog once while we were actually on our trip last week, but mostly because we didn’t have ANY sort of reliable wifi connection while we were there. Also typing these things up on my phone is a pain and would probably have taken literal years to do. So happy Monday, my peeps!! Ya gal is back to the grind and ready to DISH on all of the super fun things we did and creepy people we were forced to talk to. :-) Let me begin.

We arrived to Punta around noon on Wednesday after a seamless 4 hour direct flight. Customs took about 40 minutes which was a downer, but we were quickly whisked away in our bring orange “Nexus tours” bus to be taken to our resort, Vista Sol. By the time we got there and were checked in, it was about 3:30PM. First stop was obviously the bar.

1 Margarita, plz!! The bartender did not speak Englese very well and it tasted a little odd but I wasn’t going to let that stop me from chugging it down. Correy and Liv got Mojitos that were basically ice with alcohol and cute leaves LOL. Liv wanted something she could actually enjoy so she asked for a strawberry margarita and he legit gave her a marg with grenadine???? We were like nah fam this dude has no idea what’s going on but YOLO.

We layed in the sand by the beach for an hour or so as we people watched, ocean watched, and took our first Punta beach pics. After that, and a few more margs, we went over to our pool to chill and drink more dranks. BUT WAIT. let me just say Liv talked the check-in lady into updgrading our room, so we got a STUNNING, complete ocean view room (renovated, too) for no additional cost. TBH I felt like I was living like a millionaire. Vista Sol, you done good my friend.

We spent the majority of the day tanning, sipping drinks, and chatting, and ended the day at a Hibachi dinner at 9PM. I was #dead tired but the food was still OK. Buffet food though? Not the best. In fact, I’d say it was a 3/10. The rest of the resort so far had been fab: 3 pools, super well-kept and clean, etc. but the food. Man oh man. It needed HELP.

Anyways, the hibachi was like 5/10 and definitely enough to fill our bellies so we passed out until we had to get up at 5:30 AM on Thursday for our all-day excursion to Saona Island. Before I go into that day, I do want to follow up with a few things I mentioned in one of my past blogs. The “things we need to confirm” and “things we can confirm”. Please read on.

Some things we think we know but have yet to be confirmed:

- The airline we are flying (which is Sunwing airlines - never heard of it? yeah me neither.) is supposed to have TV screens on board which is huge because that means I could at least watch 2 movies (or stare at the flight map for 4 hours, whichever tickles my fancy). So fingers crossed on that.

LOL. No TV screen in sight. Poor Liv left her headphones and book in her carry on that they let her check so she literally stared at the seat in front of her for 4 straight hours.

- Partial ocean view??? We opted to pay $5 more a night (per person) to get a room with “partial ocean view”. We really have no idea what this means. I’m hoping it means it’s more of a corner room and not a room that’s like 3 miles away from the beach that we can barely see as a speck from our window. We will see, literally.

LIV HOOKED US UP. Full ocean view my peeps. Third floor with a balcony and everything. Woke up to the sunrise. Ugh. Magic.

- Sand fleas??? We heard they can be bad? And maybe give you infections that can last months? Honestly it’s terrifying and I plan to drink away my fears but mostly we’ll be getting up super early every day to ensure we can cop a reclining chair or beach bed - yes, you got that right - they have literal beds on the beach. #blessed.

Can neither confirm nor deny cause ya girl copped folding chairs ERRY. DAY.

- Bad water??? So far, we heard the water is fairly good and they have bottled water to drink. I don’t plan on testing the bad water theory so we plan to stick to bottled water and we should be 100.

I pulled a ballsy move and drank some of their water on day 1 because I was so dehydrated and thirsty and guess what. I’m alive!!! No problems here. We drank the water and it was PURE.

- And last but not least - probably the most terrifying of all - bad wifi?!???!?!? It’s rumored only one portion of the resort has a decent wifi connection, so anytime I need to talk to someone I’ll have to walk there first. My Fitbit and glutes will be thanking me. :-) I guess we have the option to buy wifi while we’re there but it’s pretty unreliable. TBD.

L.O.L. CONFIRMED. They only had wifi connection in their outdoor theater area, and it would only really work during the morning/day hours. At night, when it was full of people, it would stop working. So we were pretty SOL in the wifi department.

Things I can honestly confirm:

- SWIM UP BAR. hELLO. This is like the main reason we booked this place. I hope it’s clutch.

Our bartender Luis hooked us UP at the swim up bar. Even got a selfie with him. Loved it.

- There are 3 pools. Yesterday, I actually googled a map of the resort so I could count the pools.

*Ariana Grande voice* Yuh.

We really only went to two pools, the one closest to our room and the one with a swim up bar, but the third pool did exist and looked pretty lit.

- WATER ACTIVITIES. This is where my happiness truly lives. I LOVE to jet ski, but when life doesn’t give you jet skis, life still gives you (for FREE) paddle boards, snorkels, kayaks and…..zayaks?? I guess it’s supposed to be a kayak but with a see-through hole on the bottom so you can see all the little fishies underneath you. ~Still unsure if zayak is a real thing or if it’s something someone created in their backyard and decided to make a thing for the American tourists like me, but hey, I’m here for it.~

The kayaking was so fun!! But the wind was really strong so basically we were paddling with all of our might to make it like .2 feet the day that we went. But still super easy to access and would highly recommend. Oh and yes, Zayaks are a thing but we didn’t try them out.

- 83 and sunny.That is all for this bullet.

EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

- Multiple restaurants, a theater and a “disco”. I really hope this disco plays playboi carti and sheck wes otherwise I’m out.

The restaurants = 3/10 on food quality scale. We never made it to the disco - saw some kids running in there on night 1 and ultimately decided it was not the place for us. Don’t worry, I still listened to playboi carti on my bluetooth speaker.

Whew. I think that sums up day 1? If I need to add more I’ll throw them in the comments. Day 2 coming @ u shortly. But first, time for my lunch (microwave meal).
