Picking up from yesterday –
So, he just keeps trying to drive me around. I can’t find a way to explain to him the concept that I need to exchange my money.
So, I finally just start showing him the address of the hotel where I’m gonna be staying that night.
And I just keep pointing at it, and ultimately he takes me there.
That hotel in Alexandria was the only ‘luxurious’ thing I really ‘splurged’ on during the trip. And I specifically did that because I wanted a place that if anything happened would probably be able to help me, and that there probably would be people who spoke English there.
There WERE people who spoke English there, and asked if they could tell me where to exchange my money. And they could.
I tried to explain to the driver, but he still didn’t understand. So, I just typed the name of the place they told me to go into google maps, and we made it there.
By the time all of this happened, everything was actually closed for the day.
So, the driver left, and I settled in for the night at Paradise Inn Windsor Plaza Hotel, which was awesome!
And I’ll pick up here tomorrow.
