Quite hot here this morning. Having walked from Panorama Cottages 1 (in Sriwijaya) to the beach end of Double Six, it was time for a taxi back.
Not many taxis so didn't wait for a Bluebird.
As is my usual, My wife sat in the back and I sat in the front as I like to check the meter.
By the time we had turned into Werkudara (about 300m), the meter had already turned from 7000 to 8200. I suggested to the driver that there was something wrong with his meter, and he was (sort of) explaining how much it advanced each so often. I stopped him and we got out. We had traveled no more than 400m and the meter was already on 9200!
Had I sat in the back and not noticed the meter it probably would had become quite ugly.
