Great temperatures today. As usual +42C and not a cloud in sight :D 0% air humidity. Gorgeous day :D
I woke up and spent some time updating on emails and just relaxing as the official program, that I would participate to, wasnt about to start until 11:30 so I prepared to check out of my room, pay and store my luggage with the Bell boy.
