My flight from Rome to Moscow was late, causing me to miss my connecting flight to Tokyo. The next flight is in 24 hours, so I'll be spending the night in a nearby hotel, courtesy of Aeroflot. They've put me up in a hotel, along with several others who also missed the flight, but we're pretty much restricted to our rooms since we don't have an entry visa for Russia. Missing the connection wouldn't have been so bad if we were at least allowed to wander around town during the day.
Instead, we can't leave the floor we're on. The elevator is behind a locked door and there's a guard on duty at all times. When I went to the front desk to purchase a passcard for wifi access, I had to be escorted by another security guard. At least they're feeding us, which is sent directly to our rooms. We don't get to pick what we eat. It's all a little surreal.
Oh, and we don't get our luggage either, so yay, I get to spend 48 hours in the same set of clothes.
On the bright side, there's 'net access (only because I've been lugging my notebook around), and I've what's shaping up to be a pretty good book: Stephen Lawhead's Empyrion.
