Tailpiece.
Got up at a 10' to 6, the chores and was ready by a quarter to 10.
Finished our packing and left for Hotel Guruvayur Darsanam. The plumber was dispatched for the purchase of renewable plumbing articles for the toilets.
Lunch followed by siesta.
Back at The Quarterdeck, gave the curtains to Rejith for dry cleaning and wound up today's work..
