Day Three

07:52
Up early today to be sure to check my email. The free internet here at the hostel is very generous but usually warrants a line. At 07:30 no one is stirring in dorm 33, except when I bumped the metal ladder climbing out- 6 heads immediately popped up and looked around sleepily.. whoops!
I'm meeting my friends AnneMarie and Aideen in the city today for lunch. AnneMarie drove down from the North to pick up Aideen from the airport. I haven't seen AnneMarie since March? and Aideen since three days ago while I was frantically packing. I'm hoping to drop off my huge suitcase with them to pick up later. Quick reference to self: When the BUNAC guidebook says to pack-then take half out.. (as in PACK LITE) it's a helpful suggestion. I've got WAY too much luggage! What a pain to transport. Especially through the rain and around cobblestones.
Now I'm up to take a shower.. this hostel is backwards.. the COLD water runs out. So you are always guaranteed a scalding shower. The last couple in always get the 2nd degree burns. JK! There is a very classy sign on the bathroom door that reads, "Remember hostel policy; ‘If its yellow, let it mellow. If its brown, flush it down’.
oh yeah! AND I'm actually up in time for free breakfast.. how bout that?!?
