July 27. A dark rainy
morning with low ceiling-
we slept badly because of
hammocky bed + noisy
Town, especially because we
are over the bar! Up
fairly early, to meet Bob-
Mumpfley for breakfast as
8:00. He had still not been
able to find customs man to
sign the papers, so we
walked to the laundry, ran
by the customs man, but it
wasn't yet open. Tried a
second time, but laundry
still closed. Finally got a
taxi for the air port, & found
that the driver knew where
the customs man lived, so
we stopped at his house &
Bob finally got squared away-
