After a good sleep we have breakfast and find out about the area. Apparently credit cards are not accepted widely which doesn’t bode well. Here is however a local bank coming in at 10 am to allow us to change currency into local. Having discovered that the rooms are 65 euros a night not inc breakfast it’s a bit of a squeaky bum moment, especially as we have a week to kill before flying home. We transfer all our cash and emergency money to dulassy and do mental calculations about how much we have each day to live on.
Chris gets talking to some of the other guests about where they have been and what’s worth going to see and this is extremely helpful as he isn’t sure he wants to sit around and do nothing.
Adrain goes off to investigate other places, especially one that was recommended by Team Griffin, called Kombo Beach. They managed to get a deal of 30 euros per room including a full buffet breakfast. Having checked it out we move across. The place also wins as it takes credit cards and you can charge stuff to your room. This is of course on top of having “birds wearing bikinis”; Chris may have been going a little happy dance at this point.
The room is great and the shower works we overlook the beach and the tennis courts. There is a fridge in the room and aircon. It is a true “brits” abroad hotel and it is completely what is required.
After unpacking we head down and grab some food and look out over the beach
