Last night I went to bed at 10pm, got up twice during the night, finally waking/getting up at 6:45.
We had breakfast at the pool and there was almost no one
else there.
A waitress came over and I understood they wanted me to talk
to someone in English. I met Richard & Claire from England and they were
struggling to get hot water for their shower. (Welcome to the club.)
This is what our shower looks like:
And it appeared to be set for how water but I wasn’t getting
any.
Claire had just learned that you can’t turn the faucet on
all the way as the heater won’t have time to heat the water. So, she helped me
more than I helped her.
I finished my book just on time, right before noon. I closed
the book and noticed writing on the side. It looked like “Seidel”. I used
Facebook to search for the name and one that came up was a friend of Jeannie
and Jacob. Imagine that.
Btw, my daughter got married again, still to Jacob, this
time in a Greek Orthodox church.
Teresa talked to someone and we got a reprieve, we don’t
have to check out at 1pm we have until 4pm.
For lunch we had rice soup with ground beef on the side that
I added to the broth.
At 3pm we went up to our room and took our last shower,
dressed and finished packing. A few minutes before 4pm we left, tipped a couple
of waitresses and went to the front office. The girl spoke English and
presented me with our food & drink bill of 1,386,111 pesos ($330). So, the
total for room, food, and drinks for 4 nights came to 4,021,221 pesos ($967.66)
or $242 a night. Teresa agreed with me that it was expensive so next time maybe
we’ll try the Dann Carlton Bilfort.
We took one of those moto taxis to the bus station for 5mil.
It was organized confusion there. We waited about 5 minutes until a van pulled
up and we got in. Another 5 minutes and others got in and we were on our way. We
arrived at Terminal Norte about 75 minutes later. Teresa wanted to save money
by taking the metro but I didn’t feel like maybe standing up the whole way and
a taxi is safer.
We arrived back at our apt by 7pm and Teresa had the
porteros turn our water and gas back on.
FUNNY
