A day talking to you

We sleep in and at 10h Dr T wants to call AVIS. It is not clear how to do it from the hotel phone, is he asks the reception. It goes via an OPERATOR. Like in the American movies from the 60s! The instruction: dial 100 and you can talk to the operator does not work either. Hubby tries all bottoms on the phone in combination with 100 and finds the solution. And indeed: operator takes down the number and calls you back!
Afterwards, he buys me 2 hours internet and goes shopping. We have lunch. Two more hours for both and then ... we go onto town. I read in my Lonely Planet that there is a big crafts market in the same centre as one of the very fancy hotels. I need to do some tourist shopping. Hey, my girlfriend just had her birthday and my niece has hers soon. We drive to town in the pouring rain and a lot of traffic. Finding the hotel is easy but we do not find any craft market. We ask in the fancy hotel. Ah, yes, but it does not exist anymore. Sigh! What to do but ENTER the hotel and have a beer at the bar. Or two. Or three. Dr T chats, I listen. It is dark when we drive back. We have our meal in another restaurant in the hotel, called reflection. Why? Because the whole place is full of mirrors! Quiet claustrophobic. We have a nice seafood meal with a Kaapse Vonkel (tasty, right, girls?)
Afterwards, we go back to our bar with, you can imagine, another 2 hours of internet.
