well... where to start? (not well). i finally heard from the hotel about the transfer driver who was to meet us outside the airport. after an hour thereabouts i had to call (a lovely chap let me use his phone). the driver said he was stuck in traffic and would be ten mins. waited another hour or so (could there be that much traffic - i was incredulous). it was around midnight and we'd been in travel limbo for about 24 hours. so, we caught a taxi. the taxi went round and round, couldn't locate the place... back and forth, round and round... out in the sticks. apparently, he'd driven past a few times but the sign was not illuminated, not turned on. the room... was mouldy, stank of mould. and next to the kitchen. no hot water. it's a vast property, so i wondered why we were put there. knew there would be early morning noises - they came at 6. overall, a lot of bother for a few hours' kip. on the plus side, it had a pleasant pool area.
