Wireless in the Hotel

I'm typing this on the laptop on the Hotel's wireless connection - we bought an access code for three days for the same price as a months access normally!

We felt we had to buy an access code, as we needed something to do as our apartment "isn't ready"

This morning we packed all our bags as we were told as had an apartment ready and so would be moving into it today - with about 40 other new staff who also had arranged their apartments before arriving in Cairo. Yet when they read out the names for who should go on each bus they eft us off! We were then asked if we had heard that our apartment would not be ready - our answer being to look at our 6 huge suitcases that we had just lugged downstairs and say "no".

Everyone was originally going to be staying in the hotel for a week and then moving to apartments, and so it was only when we heard that this had changed to 2 days in the hotel that we started to psych ourselves up for an early move into an apartment. Ironically our internet connection is due to start in the apartment today...maybe that's what's holding thing up? Who knows - it isn't worth trying to second guess what the delay is, or how long it will be.

We'll just go back to steaming the creases out of our "smart-casual" clothes ready for the dinner tonight and maybe have a dip in the pool and a drink at the pool-side bar later (i.e. a bar that is actually part of the pool, so you can have a dip and a drink at the same time).
