So, we were advertised a travel time of about one hour from the airport to the hotel. We just needed to book a cab. That proved to be quite difficult in itself, but eventually we got one, with a young woman behind the wheel... who was a month into her job.
Because of the distance between airport and hotel, we negotiated a price, about fifty bucks. She got in the car... and about an hour later we were still driving around. The SATNAV was not doing much: it couldn't find the street name.
We didn't really mind though... we were not in any hurry. But slowly we could sense the taxi driver getting frustrated and starting to despair. Eventually she stopped driving and just gave up.
Luckily the people on the street were quite helpful. One even jogged into his home and came up with a nice Google map with directions. That even did the trick.
We felt sorry for the young woman. She was so distraught at the end of the ride, that she basically told us that the ride was for free. That was not an option for us, so we paid everything plus some tip.
So the moral of the story? Women can really mess with men's minds. Even unintended.
