Hi, Julie here
Well, it's 17.32 and a couple of the marina team have just rocked up in their rib to ask what time are we leaving in the morning and can we pay their fees for electricity and water. Not a good sign. It's sunset now and we're still minus the batteries which now we know are dead, but the electrician didn't think to let us know this some hours ago, so we're in a situation where we have to wait for this chap to rock up and go with him into town to buy new ones. That's a job for Gordy & me if John is not back from paying our marina dues and waiting for the oil drums which have now securely padlocked away and not within quick release...maybe 4 hours.
So, we have no batteries of our own, useless as they were, no new ones and goodness knows what on earth I'll end up buying with our non english speaking electrician. No fuel until tomorrow as the customs paperwork is not completed and no clean laundry! We were hoping for decent outcome here in Hurghada as regards fixing our maintenance problems but it seems to be as God wills...Help!
Having the marina insist we pay their bill is very funny given that without batteries of any sort, where do they think we're going? We will hardly be able to sneak off in the night, will we?
Hurrah! Our laundrey has just arrived and squeaky clean and white. Thank goodness! No doubt John will update you in more detail later.
Bye for now x
