so now it looks like my friend will be able to come pick me up. (yay! and thank heavens) but now she has weird ideas about where she wants me to stay - first she was excited about how she had prepared the guest bedroom in her house. you should probably know, that her husband runs a hostel, and today she said that she had good news, as the caravan in the hostel’s backyard would be vacant by the time I arrived and that I could stay in there. WTF? a caravan? I am not convinced.
