Recently, Ferri Somogyi departed for Isla Margarita. Never before had he craved a vacation like this. The GTST-star speaks openly about his adventure on the Caribbean holiday island.

Ferri Somogyi's star rose two years ago, when he appeared in the RTL 4 soap GTST. Ever since then his holidays are very important to him, because next to acting, the actor has his own internet company. "Some three years ago I never needed a vacation." he says "I heard people going on about how they needed a break. I never felt like that. Maybe because I didn't work this hard then. Over the past few years this has changed. I'm a very busy person, apart from my acting duties. That costs a lot of energy. We record the series from early September until the middle of July. Then we have seven weeks recess. That's a really long time. I just can't sit about doing nothing. I would go absolutely crazy, therefore I can't cope with seven weeks. After two weeks, I'm ready to go, I have to do something. I feel guilty doing nothing." Ferry, who is very popular with the women, isn't one to take a hiking trip in the mountains, during his vacation. Instead, he focuses on the night life. "Most people go on holidays to get some rest. I go for the fun of it - going out all night long. All this means, of course, that you return from your vacation even more tired. During the day I want to enjoy the sun and the beach. I hate cold weather. I don't care for winter sports. Maybe later, when I have children. I would make an exception for them."

The sun is not Ferri's only reason to opt for the sunny south. "The women obviously are very important as well. I have as much hormones as the next guy, and they tend to rear their head in sunny weather." I like sports. And on holiday I got to do a lot - playing soccer and volleyball on the beach. I even rented a jet-ski for the first time. It was great!" The actor gets this dreamy look when he thinks back. But it wasn't a smooth ride all the way. "We took this cab from our hotel, just to go into town. The driver took all these twists and turns through narrow streets and alleys. A totally different route than the day before. I had heard that on the mainland in Venezuela, cab drivers sometimes stop in a deserted alley, threaten you with a knife and rob you. So I asked the driver where he was taking us, but he didn't answer. Well, I'm not easily scared, but in another country you never know. Suddenly I had had enough. I asked for his I.D. and put it in my pocket. I explained to him that he would get it back when we had reached our destination. Then HE started sweating. I never found out whether he really planned to do something or not. Later I heard it was a shortcut... If the man only had good intentions, I must have scared him out of his wits!"
