Today I had my first real experience of exactly how expensive this place is. Last night we went out for dinner to the food court at the shopping mall underneath the hotel. It was a reasonable looking restaurant - lots of meat - fabulous salad bar which I am noticing is almost the norm in every restaurant. But, for a shopping mall dinner the cost was nearly US$ 200. That comprised steak ( me) boar ( Steve ) a few veggies , aforementioned salad bar and a bottle of Brazillian wine. Yikes, how much would it be in a fancy restaurant?
Then this morning the first of my laundry came back - one suit of Steve's dry cleaned and four undershirts for a total of US$ 60. Clearly the princess is going to have to do something about that.
So this morning I went off to the supermarket and bought laundry powder. It is amazing how a jacuzzi tub can double for a washing machine. Not sure what the maid thought about me leaning over the bath tub watching laundry going around. Hopefully I won't have to do much of this . It really doesn't go with the princess image. As I have said before, "Whatever they are paying you it isn't enough"
