The flight was Ace, food was great...even managed to get three films in EACH! It is pretty warm and quite humid....something i am sure we will get used to. Hotel is luxury! pool on the roof....not been in that yet! First day was quite tiring and on 4 hours sleep! Look who robbed a blanket!!!! CJD!!!!! tut tut tut

What an eventful day today!
We had our crash course in driving here today…….it involved…….copy passport, sign for car, get keys, RIGHT WE ARE OFF!......to say the driving is creative over here is an understatement! Lanes, wots the use of lanes when you have the whole carriageway, Indicators….they are just pretty flashing lights! Steering wheel. the round thing in front of you that means you have the right to place your big moving machine anywhere you want, including in the airspace occupied by another BIG MOVING MACHINE!!!!! They seem to use the horn for any reason under the sun…..you just don’t take offence because you haven’t done anything wrong usually…..you get beeped for thinking about pulling out of a junction or even for not pulling out of a junction into heavy traffic……you get beeped for not pulling off the traffic lights fast enough, or for being in the correct lane and wanting to go round the roundabout….in fact it’s a beep for every breath you take while behind the wheel….. those that know Hornets style of driving in the uk, may be surprised to hear she was more than nervous at the prospect of getting in the car! HOT SWEAT, forget that, practically bricking it!
We have Chevrolet saloon things…….. Not only that but ITS AN AUTOMATIC! OMG!!!!!!!! ...... is good as you seem to spend circa 80% of your time stuck in traffic!
Hornet is coming round to the fact that it is the easiest driving she has ever done! POINT AND SHOOT! photos of car to follow!
Right we are off for dinner!
