About these names

District names are the ones taxi drivers use. Ask the hotel to book a car for Laura and for any night ride.

The whole visit fits along one road. Delap, Uliga and Darrit run into each other at the eastern end (DUD); the airport sits about 10 km west; Laura is at the far western end, roughly 40 minutes by car. Everything is a taxi ride, and most hotels are in Delap.
