The day after chaos at the airport

Well, we learnt a few things yesterday.

1. If your flight is canceled, ring the airline as soon as the final attempt has failed, and book for the next day or you may be stuck here for quite a while.
2. If a flight is canceled, the next flight will carry nothing  but passengers and their luggage, hence no fresh food delivered, and as the last flight didn't arrive either, its two flights of missing food.
3. Eggs are the most important ingredient on the island (lets just say there are no eggs left on the island).

As it turns out, Marnee (Marnee is one of Chris's fellow doctors) is now flying out on Saturday (which is fine, as she will get home in time to start her new job), her partner Dave, on the other hand is flying out next Tuesday, which is a bit of a problem, as he needs to find accommodation from Saturday to Tuesday somewhere as Marnee's flat will have a new tenant as soon as she leaves, I'm sure we will all work it out, but not something I'd like to occur next week, when we need to leave and return home.

Further more, the ship has yet to dock and the shops now have entire shelves that are empty, ( I'll try and get some photos, but it is a bit suss, to have somebody walk in and take photos of the empty shelves.)

The locals are telling me that the ship has been told its not to leave until it has unloaded, as there are a lot of things on the containers that are needed to keep the island running. It will be interesting to see if it actually docks, as the weather is not looking good for the next week.

Finally the food issue, the island is running out of food and Chinese new year is approaching, what does this mean on an island that ships and planes can not deliver to ?

1. No eggs, if what you order requires eggs, then you will be getting it with out eggs, which for somethings is fine and for others can be an issue.
2. All the Chinese based food outlets closed yesterday (about 80% of all the food outlets), as they all needed to fly out today on the Kuala Lumpur flight so they could be with family for Chinese New Year.
3. The other 20% of food outlets all have limited food options due to using up all their supplies and the ship and planes not landing.

Oh well, six more days and we return to normality (what ever that is)
