• Washing day

    July 18 in Albania ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    When I wake up this morning the first thing I see is my ear pods. They were on my bed the whole time. I'm so relieved. Today I plan to get a few things done like washing and exchanging some money. I always feel a bit guilty when I don't do anything at all but I remind myself I'm on holiday and it's ok. I have my morning coffee by the sea before returning to the hostel. It's difficult because I'm on a different time zone. I heard the rest of the dorm come back at about 430 this morning and then I'm getting up at 730 and trying not to disturb them. I really enjoy my day today. The hostel is really busy and pretty much full all the time and as I well know it's a constant washing day. The manager of the hostel has allowed me to do some washing today and it is not till later in the afternoon until the washer becomes free. In the afternoon I help with a couple of check ins and manage to actually sunbathe for an hour or so. I've picked up a book at the hostel and want to try and finish it before I leave. Most of the hostel are heading out on the booze boat and try and convince me to go but its not my idea of fun. When they all come back they are really drunk and after helping one of the girls I join the gang. A loveable rogue called Travis puts some tunes on and we have a little dance it's like I used to do with my dad and is so sweet. They are doing Jaeger bombs and this time I do join and by the time the English game comes on I'm pretty drunk. I enjoy the game immensely and after the game the girls head to the beach to carry on but I triumphantly head to bed.Read more
