Day 035 of Our Winter: Was today Friday, already?
Time does seem to be going by quickly. These few pictures were around breakfast time. Later in the morning, Jay and I went downtown and picked up a few things at the Keel's Supermarket. We took tuk-tuks both ways through the local rideshare app called PickMe.
It worked. Yesterday, Nasir brought a SIM for Jay's phone. When we came to Sri Lanka I got a month of unlimited data at the airport. I put it directly in the middle modem/router that I can carry around with me. In this way, Jay and I can both use wifi to connect to all our devices. However, many times the drivers want to contact us before pick up. We had Jay's Canadian Whatsapp number saved but some local drivers only knew it was a foreign number and didn't try calling. I felt we may be missing out on some possible rides due to this. And both ways today, the drivers called to ask particulars even though direct contact is allowed through the app.
We got some essentials like more shampoo and food such as bananas, curd, ice cream, and bread.
In the afternoon we had our usual nap. I can sleep so well when here. I can sleep mostly through the entire night and still find myself fast asleep during a 40 minute afternoon nap too! It rained like crazy for a few minutes with lots of far away thunder and lightening. That didn't last long.
Next Friday, we'll go for our flight to Dubai and next week at this time we'll be in a hotel for a pre-cruise night. Yet after our week on the MSC ship in the Gulf, we'll return there for another seven more nights along the Deira side of the original creek.
