Day 40 - Is this your first time on this planet?

This morning I woke up SUPER late after our late night out the night before (didn't go to bed until 5.30am lol) So I woke up at 11.30 and didn't really know what to do? But I ran into Amelia coming out of the shower (it's really quite amazing how we would just bump into each other everytime we sort of needed to?)

So both feeling a little worse for wear, we went to find some food. We didn't want to walk far, so we ended up at this little cafe, and I had an omelette, but mostly lots of water and coke and hot chocolate lol.

After this we headed back to the hostel and ran into Kate and James. We all organised the night before to head to a BBQ thing in the park being held by the hostel, we thought it was later in the night but it started at 4? So Kate and James headed over, and Amelia and I said we would catch up with them there a bit later. So we went and got ready, and when we came down, Kate and James both said they couldn't find it? So we all decided to do our own BBQ.

They have these INGENIOUS things over here! Portable BBQ's, Ive never seen such a thing. Its bascailly just a metal tray, with coals and firelighters. So we bought food, and one of these BBQ's and headed to the park.

WELL, let me tell you, the park was literally like a festival/camping grounds. There were just people EVERYWHERE, cooking food, getting high, tripping on whatever drugs, I have no idea. but the place was fucking fun! Some guy eating a chicken wing walked up to us and asked us; "Is this your first time on this planet?" Amelia was like "no actually, second" LOL

So i cooked the BBQ. I struggled a little... Dad would not have been proud. James and Kate were like "just light the firelighters" I was all "well... ok" but only one side of the coles light... and it didn't seem to get hot until like 3 hours later, when we already half cooked our burgers, and were full! Kind of annoying, but I tried every Bear Grylls trick I know to light it! I had cardboard, and everything trying to light the other coals... lol, just didn't work though.

But we did end up cooking some stuff enough to eat lol, and it wasn't so bad.

I also opened a bottle of wine without a cork screw (which I HAVE to remember to buy) Dad would have been VERY proud lol.

So we hung out in the park ALL afternoon. James and I walked to find a coffee shop, then we all had a bit of a smoke in the park. And then headed home and went to bed.

It was actually one of the coolest days I've had in Europe.

Things that made me happy today; Cheap food and booze all day, and the awesomeness of the park.

Things that made me sad today; Burning myself trying to light the stupid portable BBQ. Wishing that a park like this existed in Melbourne.
