I was right about the restaurant I spotted yesterday. The food was magnificent although a touch more expensive that the £2.12 I splashed out the previous evening. But me being the last of the big spenders, I shall probably go there again tonight.
An overcast and thoroughly murky day today. This doesn’t bother me (too much) as I’ve seen plenty of sun recently. But I feel sorry for those who are here only for a short time and are clearly intent on soaking up the rays. As I said yesterday, there’s precious little else to do here when the roasting on the beach is not an option.
It was breakfast for two as usual
with my little squirrel friend before I headed off for a trip on Benota’s freshwater lake where I joined a delightful couple from Belgium. As I’ve come to expect, the tour ‘facility’ was a bit basic but the boat seemed watertight enough.
The photographic part and the writing part of my blog is quite easy and fun. What is a total pain is the technical bit – especially when the internet signal is poor – as the pictures I take and ‘post’ have to be uploaded onto my blog website which is located somewhere up in the sky. The internet signal in this hotel is patchy to say the least. So, typically. it takes 10 minutes or more to upload each picture, or to be told that the upload has failed. Thus, close to 2 hours can be spent/wasted each day just trying to upload the photos I want to put onto my blog. Today the internet signal has been even worse. In 2 hours I have managed to upload just the one photo (above). So I have decided to give up for today.
Tomorrow I am leaving here and travelling south to where I do hope the Wifi is better. If not it’s back to either semaphore or carrier pigeon.
