Subject: Post: <p>This was one of those days or evenings when almost nothing goes smoothly. As our apartment was not available for the last day we stayed the night in a hotel. In the morning we checked out the hotel and drove close to the airport, trying an Ihop chain restauraunt for breakfast. Excellent omelettes, good pancakes and good coffee which is rare around here.</p><p>It started to rain heavily, so we had to skip our plans about outdoor activities and figure out something that could be done inside. Cruzan rum distillery offers tours the factory, and visit to a rum distillery sounded like a good thing to do while in the Caribbean. The tour was relatively quick, but at least we got an idea how the rum distilling process looks like. Some souvenier bottles were also bought. :)</p><p>After the tour we visited Fredrikstad briefly, taking a couple of the pictures of the pier under which we were night diving yesterday. The NOAA ship on the pier made our dive yesterday a bit short, as they don't like people diving under their ship and we had to turn around a bit before the end of the pier.</p><p>We arrived to airport an hour before the flight, which we though would be enough.. Well, it wasn't as we were the last ones and the small Cessna 402 aircraft of Cape Air had full load of big guys with checked-in luggage. Due to the weight limits of the aircraft Mia's and Timo's bags got left out. The airline managed to get the bags flown to San Juan via Saint Thomas an hour later though. It still caused some extra concern, as our flight to New York will depart early tomorrow morning. I got to fly on the co-pilot seat again by the way, after asking the pilot. :)</p><p>The next surprise came when we finally got out of the airport. Timo had booked us a place in a small guesthouse next to the airport. Unfortunately it was technically in the next city even if just a few kilometers away from the airport, and taxis had fixed price of $50 to drive there. No way we would be paying that for that short taxi ride, so off to National car rental desk we went and rented a Hyundai for about the same price. Finding the three-room guesthouse and getting the keys to the room was a whole another story, but we did get them after an hour of phone calls and driving around.</p><p>After settling in Me and Timo went out to find some food and had some extra difficulties for example with Burger King closing a minute too early for us. Blaeh. Tomorrow goes more smoothly, I hope..</p> Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
