Trinidad (more 1)

It's hard getting around here. Surprisingly taxis are cheap to take. That is providing you can get them to turn up at any time near that promised. This is definitely a country where manana is a concept implying undue haste and rush. Food orders are much the same. 20 minutes is an expression of optimistic hope, not any form of forecast that whatever has been promised and paid for is shortly to arrive, intact and hot.

Well, it's hot and humid and different. Add to that the Hilton Hotel in Port of Spain experience, a hotel I have now abandoned. It's a building site. Most of it is closed for refurbishment. I had two nights there which were memorable only for how awful they were. The electronic keys didn't work to persuade the lifts to let me out on my floor. Then the replacement didn't work my door, requiring a trek back to the reception desk to get yet another. I don't mind a hotel refurbishing itself but I do object to them not telling me that almost all of the facilities that they continue to advertise aren't actually available to the unfortunate paying public.
