We have both arrived safely with our very heavy suitcases.  Ian on Friday, Diane on Saturday.

On Sunday we met our driver, Pujo, for the first time.  We are not allowed to drive here so we rely on him to get us around.  He speaks good English and is very friendly and helpful, so I am sure we will get along well.

His first trip was to drive us from the hotel to our new apartment.  After receiving the keys and some brief instructions we decided to move in straight away.  However, as we had no bedding, towels or kitchen utensils this meant a short but intensive shopping trip.  As it was a Sunday, the traffic was lighter than normal so we did not spend as much time in the car as expected.

After a hectic day and jet lag we both had a good nights sleep in our new bed.

It is hot here, temperatures around, 30°C during the day and about 27°C in the evening and dark by 17:45.  It will get a bit of getting used to.
