Finally, some routine!

Maybe not the kind we had anticipated, however...

You see, we didn't sleep much last night. Again.

It seems that there is a bit of a snowball affect in that regard when living in backpackers hostels, and here is how it goes down.

1. Significant amounts of drinking. (Usually not us.)
2. The stumble home, and arrival into the dorm.
3. Lights turn on, bags are shuffled through, people are loud.
4. Headphones go into the ears, and eventually, a bit more sleep.
(A very short time later)
5. Someone starts a loud, drunken snoring. This is often accompanied by sleep talking, mumbling, and/or moaning.
6. The entire room wakes up.
7. Someone finally has had enough, and mildly assaults the offender, loudly, and for quite some time. This may include shouting, shaking, tugging of sheets, flashing lights, etc.
8. Repeat from step 4.

Eventually morning rolls around, and there is a room full of people, very few of which had much sleep at all. At that point some breakfast gets eaten, and half of the room goes out surfing, only to return around lunchtime for an afternoon siesta, in a vain attempt to make up for the lack of sleep the previous night.

Repeat from step 1.
