0130 pickup
Yup. That's when people finally got their arses in gear: 4 hours after we broke down. We're now finally in a people carrier taxi (they first sent a small one which we wouldn't all have got in, even though I'd tried to explain about the size of the dog). The car should follow later: it was too much to ask to do it in one go, it appears. Our driver is a very nice Pakistani guy who has been delighting in telling us about his gambling habit (his wife thinks he's stopped, so don't mention it), the size of his (various) mortgages here and abroad, and the problems he sometimes has with his stomach after "1s and 2s". Nice bloke, if somewhat disconcerting. I'd be happier if he wore the seat-belt, but hey. We should be home by around 4, so time to try for a kip. G'night.
