Yes, it's me, on my travels again. No pictures of toilet bowls this time, as the loo is a bog standard one (see what I did there?!).
This time around I'm staying in a little guest house. TBH it's a little run down, but the people seem kind enough, and now that I know that if I want hot food in the evening I have to order it in the afternoon, and that for the shower to be hot I have to run it for at least ten minutes before I get into it, it's fine
I've also managed to snag myself a driver for the week. This makes life SO much easier. Not only does he drive me wherever I have to go, he brings me supplies, got and tops up a local SIM card for me, and provides a strong and steady arm to lean on on all the icy pavements. And brings me takeaway nosh in the evening, now I'vwe discovered the little weakness in the kitchen department here. It's so icy out that I don't want to go out at all, except for the business meetings.
If we're lucky on Friday there'll only be the one meeting and then we can do a little out-of-town tourism.
Damn! Could a mod move this to Travel, or Cities, or somewhere more appropriate? Please?
