Bills’ journal is finally online. I definitely recommend visiting, if only to get a different perspective on the events described here. Besides, he’s a much better photographer than I am and his pictures are worth the visit.

Today was a lazy day when compared to most others. All of us slept for hours, grabbed lunch, then headed off to work later in the afternoon. The 10+ hours sleep we managed the night before was wonderful and desperately needed by all.

Shortly before heading to work, we checked our hotel bills to date. As with my experience before, multiple charges appeared on our bills that weren’t ours. After asking to see the receipts, we found meals for other rooms and strange mini-bar items charges and immediately asked for them to be investigated and removed. I’ll definitely have to keep an eye on my bill each week to make sure all the charges are gone before I settle up for the past 2 weeks on Friday.

While at work, I was tracked down by a member of the transport department and arrangements were made to pay the charges for the rental car and driver to date. I’d been attempting to find out how to pay for the car for a while and Manish assured me that eventually someone would track me down and find me. Well, today was apparently the day. It’s a relief to finally figure out who is handling the billing, since when I asked the driver a few weeks ago, he had no clue who was supposed to be paid for his services.

As with previous nights, Anand and I were chased by a number of barking dogs. Linda and Bill weren’t bothered at all, although a few dogs did look closely at their car before deciding that I wasn’t riding with them tonight.

Earlier, I spoke to Drew and he informed me that my parents are calling tonight (no, Fenris did NOT growl at me while I was on the phone) and I had a quick chance to talk to Thanatos. So, while I should be asleep in bed, I’m adding new pictures to the site and typing away an account of today’s events while I wait. However, if the expected call doesn’t arrive before 6am, they can talk to my voicemail…
