Up, up and back to the hotel

Up at 3.45am. In the airport at 4.30am. On a train back to the city at 5am. My hotel booking ran Monday to Saturday. It turns out my plane ticket is for Sunday. Much scratching of head and consternation at the electronic check-in desk. A thousand dollar bill to move the ticket forward a day. Er, no thanks. Slow trudge to the train, back into the city, and back into my old hotel room for a couple of hours. Two hours nap, then booking another room. Try again tomorrow. This trip has been eventful one way or another.
