Last night we fancied a curry so we ventured to Cozinha Aberta just off the main square. it was expensive but it was my Birthday after all and their curries where known around town. They didn't disappoint. So we didn't spend more then we had on us we worked out the bill several times before ordering, but when we came to pay it was more than we expected!! Panic!! I got Stevie to wait (counting the 10 cents) while I went back to the Pousada (hostel) for more money. En route working out the bill again several times in my head, with my hands and on my phone. Their total was impossible even with quantum equations. After trekking across town and back (almost bringing up my expensive meal several times) I actually looked at the bill and they worked it out totally wrong charging us R20 extra and she used a calculator!
While in town I got collared by our hostel owner to pay for the tour that he had taken us on previously. I was hoping we could sneak out the next day and not pay.
After 2 days in Lençóis Stevie discovered the shower had a hot tap. I shouldn't have told her...
7hr Coach ride back to Salvador Rodoviaria from there we took the local bus then to the airport. Although we had to wait most of the journey for our change as Stevie thought it would be wise to buy food with our change and buy the bus tickets with a R50 note when the ride cost R2. Instead of the other way around. Hopefully our flight reservations are waiting for us to Belém. Although we need to wait around the airport until 1am. Land at 3am..... No Pousada booked... It's going to be interesting.
Dreading the phone bill from yesterday! I think it will be £600.
If anyone what's to host a cake n biscuit sale, run a marathon or do a boot sale in aid of the Mark & Stevie Phone Bill Fund then it would be appreciated. This ain't just a phone bill, it's a M&S phone bill.
