Christmas Day
Slightly groggy we woke up and had breakfast, which again was not really enough. I don’t think this guy has thought through what running a guesthouse entails, very untogether. Dee had been getting a jacket made by some tailors and they dropped up to do a fitting. I decided to get a suit run up, as I will probably need it in the real world in a few weeks. It was odd as I have never been fitted for anything and was a man intimately measuring odd.
We spent most of the day chilling in the garden and had a few beers that afternoon. The house was quite apart from a few visiting Indian friends that found us fascinating and wanted to talk a lot. The thing is we came here for peace and not to have the same conversation again and again; what country? what name? what Job? Married? So we kind of hid by the pool.
Piers it seemed had not thought of sorting dinner out until one of the other guests mentioned it so he sent one of the cooks into town on a food and beer run. That night we had a decent but agian to small dinner and chatted with some American people whom let us use their work phone to call home. We would have had to go on a trek back into town if not so that was very nice of him. His name was Sean Brennan which was funny as me and Dee work with a Sean Brennan.
To be honest this expensive hotel thing turned out to be a complete let down and I'd have half a mind to write a bit of a complaint on his website. Simple things like access to bottled water was awkward as you felt like you were asking a stranger to get it out of their fridge. Bummer. We should have stayed in town in a nice place but what can you do??
We had a bit of a giggle that evening and Dee got to wear her lovely new jacket so she was happy.
Also we bought a bottle of Champagne for ourselves and Piers opened it and shared it around. Not impressed with that. We crashed out; personally I was gagging to get out of here at this stage.
