So after we left the internet cafe (which we are now in again for lou to upload some pics!) we went back to the hostel and did some washing... it had a deep shower tray so i used that while lou used the sink! v funny! then we washed our non-delicates in the washing machine - what a luxury!! hahaha! soooo very nice to know all our clothes are fresh and clean! ive realised i couldve got away with taken much less even though i havent got an awful lot anyway (as you know!). tumble dried it all too which makes a change from turning our room into a chinese laundry!!

theres a kitchen here so we were in there doing our washing and got chatting to a really nice australian called polly - shes been travelling for 5months solo! wow! we then had a shower and washed hair etc... my legs are now hair (and suprisingly cut) free!! lol. went out to the supermarket and cooked our first proper (ish) meal.. chicken with cheese and a tomato sauce with salad and then grapes for pud - it was good! sat with another australian for tea - shed worked in the lakes for 3months earlier this year! went back to our room and we are now sharing with a middle aged LA business man who#s v sweet and reads his bible and writes a journal too! just over for a business trip and he lit a match after going to the loo... what a gentleman! ha! got organised and went to bed to look up train times as im planning on taking lots of sleepers so think i may book them now to prevent anymore mishaps! we were i bed when all these chinese people started trapzing through really nosily! the bible guy was asleep and then woke him up! then they threw out the american lad in the other section of the room into our room so they could have the other part to themselves, but there were 5 of them and only 4beds?! ah well we lef tthem to it!

got up this morn and had breakfast... im growing quite accustomed to museli and natural yogurt its good! spesh if there's lots of fruit in it! had a brief chat with polly, shes heading to amsterdam today! then made our way here! going to the station next to book our sleepers! god knows how much thats going to cose.. still not sure how much is in my nationwide! haha! its daft you cant find out but it seems all cards are the same for some daft unknown to me reason!

glad you liked that one jas - i made myself laugh with it! lou says hi! mum - just ring any i think as they#ll prob be able to transfer you or give u the number of the correct department?! thank you itd be really good if you could do that for me as im worrying im going to have no money at uni!!! just explain the situation and stress i never went! thank you!
