13


Woke up after ten hours sleep. Sat out on my balcony for a bit looking at the sun on the Mediterranean. Got dressed in a colourful tie dye shirt. Brought down the rice and some good from our place to the bigger, better place below, now just sitting at a round table  out on their giant balcony with the eight other girls here, about to dig in to a wonderful breakfast of eggs, rice, red and yellow peppers, spinach, cheese, coffee, croissants, cereal, and yogurt. I'm loving this. 

Did a section of math homework, swam in the pool, layer in the sun, got dressed up in a dress a bought and a fancy scarf and when out for dinner with everyone at a restaurant. We walked along the ocean to get there and it was so beautiful with the sunset and the waves and the palm trees. The restaurant was right on the water- we stepped from the sand to inside the place. We wanted paella, but it was too late in the day for that, so instead I got a Bleak (never heard of it before today, but it was really good). It was a little serving size fish, served whole on your plate. It tasted really good, and it was fun to eat an entire small fish.
Mikayla and Liane ordered grilled prawns, which you would think to be pretty good, but they were whole prawns, legs, antennae, and all. So they spent the entire time picking then apart carefully one by one and taking out the prawn poo in one small dark line down the back of them. I hurt myself laughing over it as they complained about the sandy poo, it was so funny and they were laughing too. You can easily eat them without taking out the sandy poo bit after they'd seen it they couldn't eat one without thinking about it.
I had ice cream after dinner. I felt it was a good time for that. It was such a nice dinner at the end of a wonderful day.
But the day wasn't over yet. On the way back, about half the group stripped to their underwear and when swimming in the ocean in the dark. Bryce lost his phone. Then the curtains in our room fell down, so we propped the curtain rod up with two chairs stacked on top of each other very precariously. We ran out of toilet paper but had extra pads so we used those. Then we found more toilet paper. Kendi came to see the curtain carnage and said to just leave it, so we did. The screw holes in the wall were completely worn away; it was clear that this had happens before and people had just shoved it back into the wall as bevy they could. We tried that but it didn't work. 

Then after packing we headed downstairs for juice and more card games. Now it's 3am and I need to be up in 3 hours to catch a 6 hour train. If I sleep on the train I might survive.
