Armed guards and warm nights

It's been a long day - I've been up for 22 hours - just arrived in my hotel room in Port a Prince. We flew into the Dominican republic (my case took 3 hours to arrive) , then got an 18 seater across flight to Haiti. Surprisingly, I loved it!
We were met by a minibus with an armed bodyguard and escorted by another vehicle with a second bodyguard. The streets were crammed with people. The streets had very little light because electric isn't widely available. Most houses were dark and there were fires at the roadside. Roads were terrible. And this is all in the capital city. I'm now about to sleep like a baby, tomorrow I'll give you more details.
