We walk a fair way up the main road from the port, looking for vacant taxis, and finally get one after a kilometre. The auto-pilot, when he finally punches in the address, says 7 kilometres, so we are glad he came along. The traffic is pretty savage, and our driver has a few unkind words to say about ...
