Drunk tourist climbs Alps looking for hotel
It isn’t unusual to have a few too many to drink and forget where your hotel is located when you are staying in a foreign city, but an Estonian tourist has taken things to the next level.
According to Italian newspaper La Stampa, Pavel seemed not to notice that he had taken a wrong turn on the way back to his resort and was heading up the mountain side until it was too late.
As he continued his climb throughout the night, he gradually started to come to the realisation that he may have made a mistake.
Luckily, he stumbled across a closed restaurant and bar on the mountainside at an altitude of 2400m and bunkered down for the night.
Staff discovered Pavel in the morning, passed out on a makeshift bed made out of a bench and a few cushions.
A search party made up of the fire brigade, police and drones had been dispatched to locate the lost tourist before he was found safe and sound in the bar.
Local police have said that he will be fined for his drunken escapade but will not be charged.
Have you ever struggled to find your hotel when away on holidays? How did you find your way back?

... we would acrually love to see some of your pix
methinks she missed out on math classes Reagan. Here's a real toughie, let's see how she goes, ready?
"How many sides does a circle have?"
2400 m? That is base for places like Chamonix and Cervinia.
If YLC allowed posters to add photos I'd show you what a real sumit looks like. Highly recommended you go to one.
Good story though.
Cheers
