Day 5 - Fatigue

I am thoroughly sick of sandwiches. Been eating sandwiches for every meal. I finally understand how my UK friends feel. You just simply cannot afford anything else. The cheapest meal one can get is a sandwich and the cheapest sandwich itself costs €2. A proper hot meal costs around €10. I miss meat. Poverty is so hard.

Still, there is a certain romance in destitution, if only you allow yourself to see it. Afterall, the heroines of the best novels were struggling and poor. Why just before I left I had been reading the charming tale, The Making of a Marchioness which featured an impoverished gentlewoman struggling to keep up with appearances while making ends meet. In the end she married a Marquis and lived happily ever after. Perhaps I will meet a dashing member of the aristocracy too.
