On Arrival.
Most arrive at the airport. Then what? The town centre is only a ten minute , yes ten minute, taxi ride away. This place is fairly easy to navigate however, the river takes several bends through the city and, as seen from the air, most streets are not at right angles to each other.
If planning to stay, there are a few things to be aware of. Roaming fees for mobile telephones can still be quite high and internet connections take a while to install, whether tv cable, satellite or telecoms circuit. Home phones are still widespread and yes, take time too. The authorities wish to have a chat too and discover more about your plans.
