they really are a last resort for me! As you can imagine he wasn’t Mr Popular in the morning!!!

Woke up feeling like I needed more sleep but we both went for showers. The ladies showers were on our floor but Rob had to go down to the first floor for his. When I got back I asked him where his towel was and to my surprise he had forgotten it and left it in the shower room!

I also think that it had something to do with the fact that it all seemed so English, I guess it was the reality that all that special different culture had disappeared and it was easy travelling from now on. More or less everywhere from now on until central America with the exception of Fiji would be very English based and didn’t seem so different from
