Fire alarm

Day 97

Not the best nights sleep. At 5am a fire alarm went off in the hostel. There was a moment we all woke up and waited for the first person to make a move, all silently hoping the alarm would be turned off but on realising that it was not going to be turned off anytime soon we made for the fire escape. There was so many people out on the street. The hostel has 7 floors of rooms with about 8 rooms on each floor. There was a load of sleepy travellers standing out in the street in their pajamas, not impressed.

Fire engines and fire fighters turned up, and it took ages for them let us back in. I have no idea if there was a fire or someone was smoking in their room but after half an hour of standing in the street they let us back in.

We eventually got back to sleep and in the morning had to check with eachother that it had not actually been a dream.

Today I'm tired.
