Five Shower Day

andy, you were in nepal recently and i remember you saying the electricity was out or something and you were cold. now your in togo, no juice, and its sweltering. sounds like the electrical reliability along your path has been less than great lately.

five showers, wow. must be a cooker, how much cooler is it near the shoreline?

Electricity is needed when the world is givng me a room that needs electricity to function properly. I keep trying to learn more and more about choosing a room.

There is a Hotel called the Palm Beach that is in the center of Lome, across the street from the ocean and may be the best or worst hotel in the city. IF very high in the hotel, maybe a good breeze and quiet. IF low in the hotel the road in front on the ocean front is about the worst for noise in the city.

I am in a great location, about two blocks away from the beeps of motocycles, however close enough where I can flag one down easy to get moto taxi ride.

I think the bottom line is this, ever hotel has a couple of primo rooms and all the others are OK. I am looking for Prime locations for about 5,000 CFA or less than 10 Dollars US per night.

I think the personaliy of the owner or manager is my first consideration. Then noise levels, then choosing the room for heating or cooling.

The French guy from Ghana rented a room in the bottom of a three story concrete apartment. The room is constantly cool because of the concrete above him. I am in a one-story room, there is no concrete above me, just a hot roof with an attic.

I think I could say, go to this hotel, stay in room number X, if this person, show a picture is not working anymore, than you need to decide whether the new person is acceptable. I would suppose the room would stay ok, providing the have not raised the price.

I think maybe I could say to the one independent person, here are about three rooms, good luck, I hope they are available.

Too close to the beach here and the wind off the ocean is annoying, it is not a gentle breeze on this ocean area until it get a distance, however, I am sure this varies.

The answer is, a lot cooler close to the shore, however extremely noisy because on a big highway that is coming from Ghana with trucks.

It's pretty selfish to take 5 showers a day in a country constantly suffering from drought

Learn about:
1. Water Tables
2. Wells
3. The location of Lome, Togo

You will realize you do not understand what you are talking about. Water is not the problem here, it is electricity.

You have been watching the crap on Television lie about Africa too much.
