Water Water Everywhere

And we aren't even at the ocean!

Well here we are. It's 3:45 in the wee early hours of the morning.  I was woken by a loud humming sound and at first I didn't think it was anything important.  So I fell back asleep.  Then a little while later I woke again and there were water drops involved.  I thought "oh oh..."  So I got out of bed and went to investigate where the sound was coming from.  The water sounded odd, so I felt around (in the dark) and felt water splashing down from the ceiling (this is INSIDE the flat, mind you!).  Oh no!!  We are in a quadraplex and the unit above us is the office/work area of the people who own the building.  We have a key to that unit because there is a phone up there that we can use (Perry's cell phone doesn't have coverage here).  So Perry grabbed the keys and headed up there to a) call the owners and b) see if there was anything he could do to start fixing whatever was broken.  But he found that the key didn't work.  Aagh!  (We obviously haven't used it yet!)  So Perry hopped in the car so he could drive somewhere to call the owners.  Luckily he only had to go to the end of the driveway.  So he called them, and the owner actually just arrived.  Apparently they have a whirlpool up in the unit kity-corner to us, and the people up there apparently felt the need to have an early morning whirlpool...  So the owner came back down and told us that it must be the overflow drain that was leaking and that he would fix it in the morning.  So that's the scoop.

So it's now 4:15am, and we catch our plane tonight at 10:00pm.  Oh, it's going to be a very looong day...  I'm going to go back to bed and try to sleep some more...  Au revoir all, and see you soon!
