Thursday

After a decent nights sleep I grab some breakfast then prepare to pack my things and move over to my new room which will actually be Dans’ room whilst he will move up to the fifth floor where there is a great view. I am on the third floor with the usual view of the side of a building three metres away. 

There is some communication breakdown and the room Dan is moving into has not been cleaned for him to move his things yet so I drop my bags in his room and we tell them downstairs to sort it out and head out for some lunch.  

I am a little stressed, having expected to be settled in by now and because I am still a little “travel fatigued” I am just waiting for something to go wrong and end up having to find somewhere else to stay at the last minute. It is late afternoon and I really just need to put my bags down in a clean room and unpack and unwind.  

By late afternoon Dan has gone to sort out some business before teaching and I head back to the hotel to find my room is finally clean and a sense of relief sweeps over me. I shower and head out for some dinner and a couple of beers then back to my room for a movie and some peaceful sleep amongst the quiet with the knowledge I don’t have to pick up my bags and move again for a while, I feel some sanity returning.
