Saturday 8th September

I again had a lazy as morning. Got up, spoke to the Aussie girl from Canberra and met another girl from Holland with a Scottish accent who looks like Fiona O'Laughlan. Just not the same age...without kids...the usual.

So then by 1pm I decided to check out the Prado Museum which I saw was number one on tripadvisor. I was hungry though so I decided to be a fat bitch and eat maccas. But if I found a nice cafe along the way I'd go for it. Nope, all tapas bars. Maccas was great, I got a CBO burger which was a chicken patti with mayo and it had bacon bits on top and bacon inside. It was actually really fantastic. And I got an ice tea with it too. Like it doesn't get much better than that. I was Facebook chatting to Bethany and Stef at the same time and all they were playing was bad music. Then suddenly some amazing Spanish songs came on and it was pretty loud the music, I didn't want to leave at all! But then a family of black people came along and I pissed off. It was time to grab some macaroons from the cafe because I've heard about it but never seen them in any maccas. Honestly I couldn't decide which one to go for and I wanted so bad to try them all but I thought no I'm going to be good. Again I was a fat bitch and got one of each, it was only €3.90. Oh another thing about Europa, they use . in place of , and , in place of . . So if you see 13,90 that's 13.90. When you see 100.000 that's just fucked up.

So I went to the Prado museum and amazingly got inside for free. Don't ask me how. I tried to dissect and come up with a theory as for how and why. You see, yesterday I didn't have my La Trobe uni card, but today I did. The lady looked at my youth card and saw that it had French on there. I showed my La Trobe card and she gave me a ticket and said it was free after some huffing and puffin. So maybe she thought I was French and because if you're from the EU you get free entry into a lot of places. As the sign said students only got half price. No idea. Just a theory.

I went for a walk around the nearby park as I heard it was amazing, it actually was and I was really surprised by that because there was always something different everywhere. Like they had a pond, a minutes walk later they had massive trees with areas to relax and such, then a really colorful garden right at the entrance. Just a big mix in a really large public area.

But as it was my last day I decided to nap and this time I didn't actually fall asleep. The other guy in the room John, from Peru who lives in Italy, was also getting hungry. So we set out at about 9.30 for dinner. We had tapas but noticed later it was an Italian place which was fantastic. They had whole legs of bruccuto just around the place, all the while playing The Godfather. We shared a few dishes and it was pretty good I guess.

So once I got back I decided to take a nap and go out. No one goes out until 2am remember. And that's what I finally did!!! Didn't sleep through this time. But I got back by 3 because I was actually really tired, so it was kind of pointless. But I couldn't sleep because the room was really warm. By 4am John comes in, and so does a girl. She climbs onto his bed and that's my bunk, just above me. He said she's too drunk and the metro opens in an hour so he'll take her home then. Like that's cool and all...but then I heard kissing and God knows what else. It's one thing it's hot in the room and I can't sleep, totally different when it's you face ploughing some drunk girl and justifying it with the excuse it's your friend. I was thinking do I cockblock the guy? Guys don't cockblock each other, that's not cool. So luckily just as things got heated up, in comes the four girls from the dorm. They laughed and walked out, so then I walked out too. Thank god that ended!
