I woke up this morning and got some breakfast at the common room. It was a good one, they even had chocolate cereal! And yummy cheese and nice brown rolls! Not your usual white toast and cornflakes! Then I went to wake up Darren and we checked out. We went out the front, where Flo and Pancho were already there waiting for us (oops!) then we all headed up the street to a little cafe where we sat down for a drink. We were running a bit late, so we didn't have time ...

We walked up the main shopping streets where we went into a bunch of shops so I could buy some clothes that would...

Today after another sleep in I went downstairs to get some breakfast and left Darren sleeping. At reception they gave me a ticket and I went down to the restaurant Galerias de Paris and gave it to them. I sat down and they brought me out a little tray with a juice, hot chocolate, toast, a roll and a little bowl of fruit. It was small but it was yummy.
