A day off ... not by choice. I seem to have caught another "traveler's cold". I always do at some point in the expedition. It could be the pollution which, sadly, is always there.
Late afternoon - a violent thunder storm and then the hotel shakes noticeably because of an earthquake.
Me, to the hotel manager, "Was that an earthquake?"
Him, "Yeh, don't worry about it. It was only a little one."
Me, "Can I use the lift?"
Him, "Yeh, I'll tell you if there is a problem."
Me, to myself, "Oh, shite!"
It's better to travel than arrive ... then again ...
