    Well after sitting in the walk in clinic for 2 hours and seeing practically nobody called back, I pulled out the Google translate app and after a few conversations realized we might be there another 3 hrs and there was no way that was happening so we said screw this and decided to hoof it to the metro rather than call an Uber. We passed a Pharmacy and loaded up with more pills, syrups, etc before making our was back to the hotel. Later we walked down to a little grocery store and grabbed some stuff we could eat in the room. Then we crashed. This morning we still have persistent mild fevers around 99.5. Spent the night coughing and blowing noses- lovely. Went down at 9am and ate the breakfast buffet in the hotel ( which Gate1 pays for). Not worth the 29 Euros others pay. Back to the room to crash some more and then getting up at noon and packing up to catch an Uber or a Taxi to our AirBnB for the final night. Would take the metro but don't want to walk even 3 or 4 blocks with those bags they way we feel. Tomorrow morning have to rise about 5am to catch an Uber or Taxi to the airport. (Taxis can charge no more than a certain amt to go to the airport). Wish I had lots more pics to show but just ain't happening at the moment. In the meantime we entertain ourselves by watching our 2 feral cats on the back porch thanks to our Blink cameras. Mama Cat has a little baby so it is learning to survive in 95 degree weather. Not ideal. Fluffy appears now and then, so good to see he hasn't split.Read more
