We had breakfast and checked out of the hotel at 12.00, we used the computers they have in the reception area for a few hours. This was to catch up with emails and messages we had promised to get out to everyone. Our taxi was coming for us at 5.30pm so we spent the rest of the afternoon swimming and sat by the pool. We had some tea at the hotel restaurant then it was just about time to go. Our taxi got us and took us to the airport, our flight was 8.25pm but when...

We got up for breakfast as usual and then went back to the room to start packing. We had a little more to do seen as we hadn't expected to be leaving today. We got sorted and left just before check out time, we went down to settle our bill. It was the same girl that James had to deal with yesterday and as soon as we walked in she seemed offish. She wrote out our bill, James was checking it, she seemed annoyed by this. She had charged us for 2kg more laundry than ...
