I didn’t sleep well – my feet were hanging off the end of the bed.  So once I had showered I asked at reception if there was a room I could move to for tonight.  They didn’t have a non-smoking one, unless I upgraded for an extra $30.  Given the quality of my last room, I asked to see the room before agreeing to the move.  Now this was more like it!  A proper room to stay in when travelling!  So I agreed.

It was just after 10.00, and breakfast finished at 10.30, so I went and ate while I still could.  I then packed and moved to the new room, and started setting up for the stadium.  It took me a couple of hours, and then I arranged for Tim to come to the hotel so I could train him up in the air conditioned comfort.  We went through everything, and then caught a taxi out to the stadium.

No major issues setting things up, except Tim left the laptop in my room at the hotel!  So in order to demonstrate the system, I had to get things running off my laptop instead of their one.  No big deal, but makes it all a bit more exciting as there was some “on the fly” troubleshooting!  The umpires came out and I had Tim train them (to check his understanding of the system).  It took longer than I expected, and I don’t know why, but everybody was happy with it.

After we had all finished, I went back to the hotel, and then found a nice place nearby to have some dinner and a few drinks to unwind.
