Sunday is a day of rest

My quiet Saturday evening with all my friends in the outside party area of my hotel. Had to consume my two beers (all I could carry) very quickly as it was extremely humid!

The thunder and lightning storm struck about 11.30pm and cleared the air for a much cooler sleep.

Breakfast (included in the cash price for this hotel) was an interesting affair; a range of luncheon sausage like meats, cheese, bread and hard boiled eggs. At least there was coffee.

Hung out with Russ in the garden for most of the morning!

The water lily flowers were all starting to open as the sun rose and the day warmed up.

Russ has his lunch and felt like a nap so I grabbed a coke and headed back to my room, actually on spying the open doors of the ones being cleaned, I think I got the luxury suite! I have scoped out another hotel, I can move to, around the corner, like 10 meters, for the same price, as soon as I know how long we are staying in this area.

After a couple of hours computer work, I decided that I needed a walk….and my spirits lifted…

A familiar face! Don’t think I have ever been so happy to see a McDonald’s! Kind of like an old friend in a sea of strangers.

Wandered a bit further, knowing I would be coming back here!

So nothing leapt out at me so I u-turned back to McDonalds.

This had an English option, so was easier than talking to a human! Took me a while to navigate, but found the desired choices and a mcCoffee cappuccino for Russ and I.

Very happy with my purchases (and I must say the best coffee I’ve had in this area), Russ and I enjoyed the afternoon sunshine in the garden again. Coffee problem solved, things eventually work out.

Russ a little weary after a couple of reasonable outings so back through this fabulous foyer and back to his roommate “Boris” the Russian who speaks German!

With all shops shut on a Sunday- finding a beer for the evening may be a challenge! But have spied a pub on the other side of the road – while I never envisaged going to a pub in a foreign country, talking to no one, we will see how strong the lure is when I leave the hospital!
