I got up this morning without a cock in my face. Pretty sure that meant I was already on a better start than yesterday morning. However I was gong to see a museum but thought against it and called Stef. I haven't talked to her properly in so long, probably since London almost 2 months ago. Sure I message her, but it's not the same. So I just chilled and spoke to her all the while I was getting hungry. So Auraya and I then decided to check out the tour, yesterday's tour would have been €10 but today's is €8.50 and I had hoped it was the same tour guide. Nope. It was an old guy, not Fernando like Tripadvisor had. Seriously I couldn't understand half his "jokes" so now I see why the free tours are better. They really have to push themselves to impress you with information and entertainment and they run for generally 3 hours. And they're free, but they work from tips. It's actually pretty good because you can give as much or as little as you'd like, but I go for about €10 each time. Seriously I would love to set up something similar at home. But that's just something I've been thinking of today, eat pray love moment.
So the tour seemed a waste and I went to have a nap for a few minutes but ended up sleeping for about 30 minutes and woke up all confused. I went down stairs and called mum whilst my head stopped spinning. Great to know everything at home is good and my dog is still as lazy as when I left him. I then grabbed some fries with beauonayes. Worst. Shit. Ever. I thought I was eating fries with vomit. I could have died, honesty. So I just kept eating it because of how hungry I was.
I walked up to the Royal Park. Oh actually I forgot to mention, yesterday I saw a rat chase a bird. I was walking by a park and heard something in the bush, so the Aussie in me was thinking crap it's a snake! So I looked and there was a rat running after a bird. It reminded me of The Simpsons when Bart made a rat-pigeon. Yeah so I went to the Royal Park and saw in the bushes there a Turkish guy making out with another Turkish girl. Then suddenly there was another girl next to them and he walked out with his arms around both. They're Muslim. Um wtf mate? Well done but don't get their heads chopped off or anything.
The Royal Palace was free and amazingly beautiful. A lot wasn't open to the public but regardless it was great to see. There was no information about what the rooms were but there were numbers, so I assume you had to get an audio guide to find out, which I never saw anywhere. But still worth it.
When I got back, Alec was sitting in the common area with his friend from another hostel and Auraya. We went for a drink to Delirium because it's probably best to go during the day than at night. Seeming as we have signs all over the hostel telling is to watch out for pick pockets there. Also signs for random things like "you have free airco don't open window" and "we have no reception here so we offer you cheaper prices. Go to our other building to check in" well...you have to check in to see that sign. Then the standard no alcohol and silent areas. But the kitchen is only open for a few hours a day. Eh just stupid things. Like it took me a while to figure what airco is, it's air-con you fools! Yeah so the bar. We went there and had four different Belgium beers. No idea what they were but one was a house beer. We met some American guys there and went with them to get more fries (I actually wanted mussels but we had no chance of that as a concert in Royal Park was about to start soon).
We walked all the way to the park, found the "concert" and sat there for a bit. I'll put this as nicely as possible, I have sloppy shits when I drink too much. And that's exactly what happened. I couldn't find the public toilets so I ran to the hostel and did a sneaky shit there. Ran back and found the guys still at the concert which was shit. Just an iBook playing weird music for a whole hour. So we left and I packed my bag and went to bed. It was only 8.30 but I need all the sleep I can get now. I'm so run down. Two months of non-stop travel takes it out of you and I still have a few weeks to go. So sleep is my best friend. I got woken up a bit but that didn't matter. I actually met some guys in my dorm who are from La Trobe, live in Essendon and go to EK leisure centre too. Amazing. I keep meeting people from Sydney and never anyone from Melbourne. So it was great to meet someone who lives nearby.
My whole sleep though I was waking up every hour and thought at midnight it was time to get up. But it wasn't 5.30am, I thought maybe someone played with my phone and I'll check worldclock.com for the actual time. I couldn't be bothered and accepted the time. Lucky, it was right anyway and I was cat napping all night.
Actually I asked Auraya to add me to Facebook when she gets the chance. Her reply was "I don't have wifi" and I thought fuck you bitch, nobody an I mean nobody declines my friend request, especially to my face. Shut down like that to my face right away. Boom.
