And I'm back at the base after a whirlwind romance with this city, roaming about and checking shops before finally sitting down at a coffee shop and sampling their pour overs like I don't have to take out two dogs for a walk.
It was around 3 in the pm that I decided to city around a bit and instead of a taxi took a metro till the zoo which is just a couple kms away from home.
What I didn't realise was that it wouldn't rain (thank heavens) but would instead turn sunny, hot and muggy (oh crap) and the moment I exited the metro station my eyes watered with the brightness of our lovely star.
It was horrible and for a moment I contemplated waving down a taxi and beating retreat but what am I if not an idiot at times and so I unlocked a cycle with an app and began my journey homewards.
The sun was scathing and it burnt and condensed me at the same time.
This ain't the season for cycling now .
