Back to the apartment to shower, relax, and snack.
Guacamole and chips on the terrace.
Free tagine made by our lovely host! Best tagine yet.
Stef gets the bed for doing the food and dishes. Plus she lost the bed toss in India and had to sleep on the floor.
Sleep interrupted by the sound of a washing machine filling. Get up to investigate. Burst water pipe under the sink. Sacrifice our towels to make a dam. Wake Stef to contact our host.
Run tap to reduce leak pressure, and rip the pipe out to divert it into the shower. Still lots of water on the floor.
