The door was closed, and I had nothing to do until the reception opened so I went across the road and sat on a bench to wait it out. The bench was wet so I got a wet bum and I wasn't in the mood for reading, I was far too tired to even consider reading a book. I was on the verge of falling asleep so I listened to some music until my ipod battery ran out, then I literally had nothing to so but wait. Well I could have done maybe something slightly productive, like write so I did a bit. Unfortunately I had a lot of catching up to do. I kept an eye on my watch and the door. I really wanted to get inside, put my shit away and sleep. I saw somebody leaving so I got off the bench as fast as I could so I would beat the door closing. I made it in, but there wasn't anybody at the reception yet. Finally after about three hours of waiting, somebody working there appeared, I put my bags in the reception and went to the common area, people were eating breakfast. I sat on a deceptively comfortable chair, it had completely fallen apart and you sank in it but it was really comfy. I ended up spending the next few hours in the same seat drifting in and out of sleep until it got to 14.00 when I could check in and have a real bed.
