The day started off much as usual - an hour in the Miguel Claro police station (in old, v. interesting historic part of town) reporting details of the unnamed car's embedded scar (for insurance purposes). All went very smoothly (weren't kept in), thanks to the supreme taxi driver who spoke English and understood the procedure. I won't go into more 'karki' (colour of police uniforms) detail at this stage, as my travelling companion would rather 'move on' (!).
Notes re police station
- you need to take a numbered ticket (as per meat counter/children's shoe shop). We wouldn't have known and could have sat waiting our turn all day, but for the taxi driver.
- kaki PCs are attached to v. noisy dot maitrix printers, printing off reams of forms.
- kaki environment made me feel (and probably act) very shiftily - trying my best to look innocent, but not succeeding very well.
- time is definitely not of the essence and we wondered if this would be where we could end up spending our hols - (we didn't).
Postscript
