Monday 20th August

The last thing I expected was to see a couple going for it in the hostel. But sure as anything it did and it happened in the bunk I was in. I got back, they stopped and I said "no carry on", walked out and composed myself. I walked back in and climbed to my bunk where I felt everything and heard it all. Worst shit of my life. I had no idea what to do, so I was messaging mum over viber so I could get my mind off it. I txt Stef, Mel and nothing! Mum was the last resort, I know she would have freaked out but I was the one who had to see it!

I got about 3 hours sleep and went back into the city. I got off at Teirgarten and walked down the old Royal Hunting grounds and saw the Victory Pole. It was fantastic. I walked to see Reichtag because I've heard so much about it for so long. Like how it doesn't have a heating system, it uses heat from other natural sources to heat the building. Over to the Gates again for photos since the stage was gone. Over to the museums where there was a massive wait so I just went to the DDR museum which mum was telling me about. It was good but a little small and focused on the average lives of those in the eastern block. For €4 it was worth it. I then made my way to the Berlin Wall, the east side gallery. That was fantastic. So many pairings were redone recently so it's just great to see it. There is such a contrast from one side of the wall to the other, it's just great.

At 5pm I went back to the hostel where a few people were leaving and so we said goodbye to them and I tried to nap. Seriously my undies dried from where I washed them last night. Actually I washed them in the sink and just left them around my bunk to dry. It seems like it didn't deter the people under me from fucking. They were stone dry by the afternoon.

I also saw some fantastic news, I'm really looking forward to going home now because there's one friend I want to see so badly. I haven't talked to them in months and couldn't. Now they're home and I can't wait to hug them.

The hostel was empty so we just went for some sushi and went back to eat it in the hostel. It was good actually €6 and it was made fresh and was pretty big. The only people left were about less than half from previous nights. There was one room with 6 beds but only 2 filled. So we just chatted and went to sleep at 11.30pm. I had to sleep to get up early.
