Strange thing sleep deprivation, it makes you have strange and barely sane thoughts like 'I must watch that Sandra Bullock film' or 'This is a good album is it Celine Dion?' or 'I can walk to the hostel in this heat'.
The latter was the very, very foolish thing I did, so after the kind of walk that would have had a Gurka gurning the last thing I needed was a receptionist telling me they were full, but he did. 'Listen mush, I have been on a bus for over 17 hours, the sweat in my socks is causing trench foot and I have less patience than Harold Shipman – find me a room'.
Sensing my mood, the receptionist ventured 'Well sir, we do have the Hobbit Suite available'. I soon comprehended that the 'Hobbit Suite' had nothing to do with the decor or location but more to do with the ceiling being only a metre and a half from the floor thus allowing free movement for Hobbit's and Smurf's only. As if to make up for the lack of ceiling height the room was only accessible by a door that was three metres above ground level via a ladder. Still it was air-conditioned and I slept bloody well that night.
Sud América Gut Rot League © – As I spent more than enough time sitting around doing nothing for the last few days I have managed to sample a couple of the local tipples. Kaiser – obviously German influenced and all the better for it, perhaps likely to be replaced by Führer in the future. Skol – in this heat both taste and quality can largely be ignored and there is no denying that the makers of Skol have largely ignored both taste and quality.
