That evening when it became too dark to continue we headed back to our motels, to meet a bit later for dinner. When Karol and I got back to our room we discovered that the door still didn't lock. And the coffee maker had not been fixed or replaced. That was it for karol, who stormed off to the manager's office with the coffee maker and insisted on another one plus extra coffee. Which we got! A member of the manager family arrived a little later with a box with another coffee maker in it and we tested it and it worked.
Steve then stopped by to pick us up and we all went for dinner at a pizza place. Not a fantastic dinner but none of us had another idea at the time. Then back to our motels. Karol and I had some wine before retiring. We both thought we'd sleep well.
more later...
