After the final night of terror at the hotel I waited for first light so I would have light thru the bathroom window in the event of a blackout. After 6am I was able to take a shower and was out of the hotel by 6.40am.I now needed to get something to eat and drink since nothing was accessible in my room as the ant infestations would engulf any food or drink items.
