Again, just so we're crystal clear on this. This wasn't an albergue, this was a hostel. Used by tourists, youths, etc. What gives him the right to touch me, let alone wake me up? If he wanted peace, he should have gotten a private room, or if not financially viable, a set of earplugs. As I also...
Whatever. I'm done here. I'm sure he'll enjoy the singalong at Casa Fernanda and the Polpo in Galicia. And I genuinely hope he does. But yeah, I'm done. This has certainly been insightful.
Okay, maybe I overreacted. But it was an extreme invasion of my personal space. And again, this wasn't an albergue, but a public hostel. He didn't go out to the communal space where people were talking and tell them to shut up.

D) As I have previously stated, even my ex confirmed my snoring isn't loud
So, I am/was in the middle of the C.P. I'd just walked from Fatima and my feet are ruined (see attached photos, which are of each foot). Anyway, arrived in Tomar, checked into the hostel, and met an Australian guy who was in the bunk below. Seemed really friendly. We chatted about the cricket...
