Wednesday 30 December

A very late airplane dinner. I don't dare eat much after my last experience, but I still end up feeling bloated. Some fitful rest makes it easier to get out of the plane. It's a breeze getting through immigration and soon we are sitting on comfy couches in the lounge. We have about 5 hours to kill. It finally passes. The airport gets very busy. Lots of European's here collecting ppl - I guess they live here! I picture myself living here. We catch the bus. I can't stay awake anymore. Something about buses helps me sleep where planes and couches fail. We pull up next to a Porsche coup. The owner isn't too happy about the bus offloading very close to his car. It's nice and sunny and only a short walk to the train. It's simple to use and we get a view if the city. Everything looks big and spread out. It's a short walk to our hotel. There are lots of small hardware stores. A man tries to sell Malcolm an iphone 6 for $250. We are able to check in even though we are early. The hotel is a a bit disappointing, but I'm holding out hope for the shower! We nap and then have buffet lunch at the hotel. Salad! And plain potatoes. Lunch and dinner in one. We manage to find some TV channels in English and have a quiet afternoon. We hear what sounds like the prayer wailing/call.
It's official, I hate showers. :(
