Fruit Stall

A welcoming fruit stall greeted us on our travels this morning before we had breakfast. Unfortunately the owners were not as friendly and didn't seem to want to engage with us at all.

Goats!

Atrium

A massive, tall atrium not well suited to vertigo sufferers. Even taking the photo caused a stomach churning moment.

Goldwing Trike

I have to admit it - I'm not a fan of a Goldwing Trike. It looks too big and ugly at the rear (some would say that's the kettle calling the pot black, people in glass houses... etc.)

Mexican Cocktail

Massive starter, massive main meal and massive cocktail, and only a finite area to put it all!

Happy Hour

Fantastic idea by the hotel: a Happy Hour consisting of two hours of FREE cocktails. This idea should definitely be adopted by all hotels.
