Saturday May 7th


It was back to West Edmonton Mall we go – round two. I’d bought clothes the previous day but nothing actually made an outfit, so I’d written a list of items I required to complete the outfits, and was on a mission to find them. My first (and only!) port of call was Forever 21 (again!), where I scored a skirt, sleeveless dress, singlet and t-shirt. The dress turned out to be the bargain of the century – the already cheap price of $23.80 was discounted to $4.80!

Since today was supposed to be a day of fun … and we were quite exhausted from yesterday’s shopping efforts … we made our way to the movies to see ‘Water for Elephants’. It was something we’d been talking about doing in each city we’d visited, and finally made it to a screening. The movie was really good – I’d read the book prior, and it didn’t destroy the original plot much at all!

We’d spoken about playing putt-putt and attending the theme park at the mall, but after another six-hour stay we were kind of over it, and made our way back to the hostel for a rest and some time in the common room, playing on our laptops.
