I woke up at 0850 to take a shower and then had the same breakfast as yesterday's at the highest floor but this time with omelette not with handmade yoghurt, but the omelette was fine. We got back and packed my things and put them in the luggage room and checked out.
We then walked to the square to start buying sourvenirs. Let's bargain!! I would like to buy plates, bowls, tea and some spice and santi would like to buy bracelets, tea, curry, and magnet. We asked the hostel reception about where was the best place to buy spice. We walked to the spice market near tbe palace of bendi. We found a local tour entering inside and again we followed them LOL. They stopped at a spice shop and we stopped at there as well. We then decided to buy spice there.
There were 6 pyramids of spice and we both asked the same questions: how can they do that"? We later found the whole part of them were not made of spice, just put some spices on top of it. The Guy gave us some tea to try which was really nice and we both wanted to buy it. He also showed many different kinds of spice and we both decided to buy Moroccan curry as it was easy to cook and common to everyone. We bought 200g. We also bought 200g tea too. He gave us a "lipstick" and "toothbrush" to us as gifts. The total was 200dh for each and we tried to bargain and he said this was already quite cheap and it would be more expensive if we bought at the square. And he already weighted everything. This time our bargain failed and dealed.
As Santi found his phone was not with him and doubted he forgot to take it when he put things in the fridge. We decided to go back to look for it and also put our things inside the luggage room. Luckily, He found it at the hostel and we left again to the square. I looked for some plates and bowls. I asked the price of a plate and a bowl in one shop and he said 480dh for both, which was insane. I said 240dh and he said 360dh. I insisted and he also insisted. Then I left and he said 240dh and I ignored him and he said 200dh, but I still ignored him as there were many plate shops nearby.
I found one which looked good. I chose 1 plate and 1 bowl. He said 320 Dh and I said 200dh and 200dh was all I had with me. He said 220dh. I insisted on 200dh and dealed! later I found the plate was quite large and I wanted two smaller ones and he said 220dh and I insisted on 200dh Cuz they were smaller and again 200dh was all I had. He was fine with it and I bought three things at 200dh, which was fine.
Then, santi looked for leather bracelets and magnets and I also bought a red one which was just 5dh. We tried to bargain but in vain. But they were quite cheap so it was fine. He then wanted to buy one for his mum and he found a white knr which looked good and a green one. The Guy said 280 and he said 140. and he said 180. Santi insisted. He said 150 and Santiago said 145. dealed. So fun to bargain!! finally 145dh for two bracelets which was quite cheap.
So we walked back to hostel and we went to carrefour market to buy stuff cuz I needed to have sth to eat on my flight. it was quite hot to walked under the sun and today was 36°! I bought a juice and water and biscuits. Then, we walked back to the square to have lunch at the same restaurants and we order sandwiches which were fine. Around 1530, we left and backed to hostel to grab our things.
We took a bus at 1615 and got to the airport at 1645. At the airport, I asked santi to take out the Polaroid I gave him and I took mine as well. I asked Santi to hold it and I took photo of him and he did the same thing to me and we asked a women to take photo of both of us holding up our polarids. I also wore Mannheim T-shirt too!!!
I checked in and headed to the security gate. I said goodbye to him and I started to cry at this moment. I hate this moment of leaving and saying goodbye to each other. I did not remember how many times I hugged him. I really did not want to say goodbye. Time flies. We had lived together for 6months and it was so sad to leave each other. He was more than just roomate and friend. i had a last hug with him and said the last goodbye to him. Before that, he wrote me a postcard in Lisbon and headed it to me. I saw it when I was waiting for the delayed flight. It was so touching and I cried again as he mentioned our cooking time and yoghurt time. I really missed the time we had in Mannheim. Then, I went to buy water to drink cus it would be a 3hour flight. Then I got inside the plane and say my last goodbye to him from the plane. I wrote my last day diary on the plane and when i wrote the goobye part, i cried again. Two german girls saw me crying and headed me tissue papers. Bye my lovely soulmate Santiago Hamelau. I love you. See you some day!
