It’s bloody hot here! I did less than half the amount of walking I intended to do yesterday. Even though I was wearing all my coolmax clothing, the humidity’s so high you sweat just standing still. It was like I was in my own personal sauna. I seriously thought I might faint before making back to the hotel.
Once at the hotel the air conditioning caused the sweat to dry (coagulate, actually) but now I was all sticky all over. Went to my room to nap and woke up to find myself nearly glued to my bed from all the stickiness. Yuck! So even though I was still beat I forced myself to jump into the shower. I was so tired! Don’t know if it was from fighting the heat and humidity or just work catching up with me, but I spent most of yesterday afternoon and last night crashed out. Woke up at 03:00 (08:00 HST) and channel surfed trying to find any English language program or at least one with subtitles. No luck except for a brief news show.
The streets look a little damp but I can’t tell whether it’s from rain or folks washing the sidewalks. Weather forecast calls for scattered thunder storms throughout this trip so I made sure to bring 3 umbrellas plus a Gore-Tex rain jacket.
