Journal Entry August 4 9:43 pm

Aug 4 9:43 pm

Well I stayed last night in a very nice and quite expensive hostal. I had to pay 49 Euros for a double room because it was the only one they had left. I then went on a mad internet search for cheap hotels/hostals for the next week.... anything under 50 a night was booked up!

I forgot August is the high season for tourism here. So at 3 am after finding nothing I sent panic emails to the people I knew were still in Barcelona.

Owen (Meloney's old roomie) responded saying he had a room open. So that's where I am. I am in a tiny closet of a room with a dangerously high loft bed but it's my room for a week and the landlady is only charging me 15 Euros per day (thanks to Owen's persuasive skills). Hurray for Owen my Aussie hero! lol

I also ate my first real meal since I left France. I had a salad, bread, and yogurt and although it tasted amazing it didn't sit well with my stomach (which is still complaining 5 hours later)!
