That’s when I met my first friend who found a hostel near my hotel and I stuck with her. The hotel, Buddy Boutique Inn (booked for me by STA travel), was really nice. Location was prime and they made cute, little elephants out of the towels. I struggled to sleep on my first night, and accidentally slept in. That’s jet lag for you.
