This morning we gave our dirty clothes to the hotel for laundering, as we only each brought enough clothes for 1 week.They promised they would be ready by 5 pm. When we arrived back at the hotel just after 5, they told us that it would actually be 7...ok, grumble grumble, but no big deal...and at 7 pm, a bellboy comes knocking on our door with 2 bags of laundry - excellent, right? Well...mostly - Max began sorting the clothes and quickly discovered that his socks and underwear were not among those returned. His immediate reaction was panic - where was he going to find underclothes big enough to fit him here if they were actually gone?! He is heaps taller than most Indian men. A vist to the front desk, however, showed his bag of underthings still safely behind the hotel desk, and the concierge told us that they had forgotten to take it, but they were going to try to do it that evening. This was just after 7 pm...not likely. We were confused, because the bag wasn't exactly hidden, and surely they noticed that it was still lurking behind the hotel check-in desk long before we noticed that it was not returned...but there are just some mysteries in life that we will never solve I guess. After dinner, we stopped back by the desk, and the man informed us that they would not be able to wash them in time for our early departure tomorrow...so as I write this, Max is in the bathroom handwashing all his underwear and socks in a bucket. There is going to be interesting drapery in our hotel room tonight!
