You all followed me home!

So after landing, straight to the pharmac_, Robitussin forte obtained and a few extra Metformin just in case. Diarrhoea seems to have cleared up.

Then we went to the hotel I had previously booked on Agoda because they had indicated they were willing to change the dates on their end and the manager was very sympathetic to what happened. So 2 nights accommodation recouped.

I booked the QF points award on Sunday. Based on previous posts I was not confident about getting reimbursed for cash flights. So that only leaves 2 nights.

We are not out of pocket for the Rennell Guesthouse. I did pay 2 nights. Solomon Airlines told the property to invoice them for the nights we were there. Actually I hope they get all 6 nights paid.

For last 2 nights I’m looking at one night at Parangiju Mountain Lodge about 1 hour from the airport. Maybe last night near the airport just to be safe. They have transport and absolute worst case scenario we can walk to the nearest village with our tiny 7kg backpacks.
