mbernardi | Wednesday 5 September

Woke up 8:25 and down to breakfast 9:45 dinning area packed so decided to go to TLC around the corner for 3 pancakes and coffee. This cost $8.90 but I had to have pancakes at least once while here. The pancakes were light and fluffy and fell apart when cut, but they tasted fine.

Back to hostel for another less bitter coffee, breakfast still available, though it was after 10:00 (no milk though).

Read all morning until I finished my book. Then down for lunch, reheated last pizza slice from yesterday and had it with coffee. It reheated surprisingly well. Finished downloading remaining audio guide I started on yesterday. Had to recharge iPod before leaving. Started a new book. Discovered the audio player needs a net connection to access ads, so got a Strawberry lemonade at Monroe / Clark Monroe / Clark McCafe and used the free wifi there.

Continued making my way north to the river where the audio tour officially started. Then made my way south again via a wander through the old public library, now the Chicago Cultural Center, where my camera battery finally died (and I didn't bring a charger). Got back to the hostel 6:15 for a lie down as I'm very tired from walking, and my blisters hurt.

Read until 7:50 then went round the corner to DQ and had a burger and fries with iced tea - with a Then to the common room unti 10ish when I went upstairs to discover my towel had gone missing. So to reception to get a replacement, and then (11:05) to bed.
