The mission for today is to research the local tourist attractions and to plan our day ahead. We had a sleep in which we needed after getting up early for the flight yesterday. Eventually we managed to drag ourselves off the bed and into the showers. It were noticed that every time someone rolled over in their bed, it had a domino effect because the vibration caused by the roller carried on through all of the beds because of the fact they were so tightly squee...

We then proceeded to have a wonderful idyllic day in Southlands Park- It is like Hyde Park in London but it is next to the river and it had few restaurants and shops as well a beach. We had a walk in the park, went to Nandos for a lunch (We needed a British fix even if Nandos actually origin...
