Planned to do alot today. We wanted to go on the “alternative tour,” where you’re shown around all the underground places that tourists don’t usually see...unfortunately we didn’t. Instead we cooked some food and took advantage of the East Seven facilities before we had to leave for out €10 a night hostel which we knew wouldn’t be half as nice. The food we cooked was simple and lovely... No really, it was great! No added spice/cream/gross.
We found our other hostel pretty easily, got rid of our bags and chilled for a while. We were told one of us had to go in a separate room, so we flipped coins. Alex lost so she went into the room across the hall from us for the first night (it turned out that this was completely pointless as we had spare beds in each of our rooms, tuh!) We did a well-needed clothes wash then took a walk down the road. There wasn’t much interesting where we walked, so we went back to the hostel. I had a super tasty smurf (bubblegum? Not sure... it was blue) and coffee ice-cream on the way back.
We then planned to go on the “alternative pub crawl.” Much like the day tour it takes you to all of the underground places. As we were getting ready, 3 Belgians knocked on the foor. They asked us where we were going and asked if they could join. We didn’t want to be rude and say no, so we agreed. But when they left to go in the shower we finished getting ready super quick and ran away!
On the way to the metro station, we were given fliers for a free cocktail in a bar not far away. We figured we were already too late for the pub-crawl anyway, and us being the easily swayed consumers we are, decided to seek out the free cocktail. We found the place which was a really cosy bar. We bought cocktails (mine was Pina-Colada – yum!) and had the free one too! We also bought two pizzas, we didn’t know what the flavours were because it was all in German, so we picked one at random. It turned out to be salmon and rocket leaves – ew! We had free melon shisha too! And I spoke to Josh before he went to Japan the next day.
