The memory of mums visit lives on!

10/7/11

The memory of mums visit lives on! Exploring the fridge hoping to source lunch and dinner we found we were in luck. Street food was at least 24 hours away (not that it’s bad) as there was Parma ham and goats cheese for lunch followed by omelettes, salad and a glut of cheese for dinner… a travellers fantasy!

More down to earth was the prospect of leaving our fabulous accommodation. Leaving always means one thing… packing but even that was not too torturous as we had offloaded a sizable number of things to the Hilly freight service for transportation to the UK. No longer did I need my main rucksack and two supplementary day sacks to transport our wares. That said we soon got back into traveller mode spending time updating the budget and buying cheap public ferry tickets for our onward travel. No more private drivers and sleek boats for us!

As any good travelers would we spent the day enjoying the facilities. Lounging in the pool, bathing in the full sized yes FULL sized bath and pottering around. Reality did hit though when the owner came to collect his money for our extra days stay. James noticed that we had been charged for the internet and despite it being not too expensive we were surprised as there was no mention of this on the website or booking form (we even showed him his own website). Furthermore the bill was out by 100,000rp. The owner was somewhat surprised at our eagle eyes and said no one had ever questioned the bill. Clearly he had not met a Yorkshirman before!
