Day 26 We wake up and having already agreed to eat in the hotel after yesterday's ordeal make our way to the breakfast area..... Shiree wanted to do this yesterday and did remind me so whilst we walked want felt like hours in search of our breakfast.... so I'm surprised when she turns round and asks if I want to eat in the hotel or not.... I take one look at it and see why she's asked..... It's pretty poor... We head out and walk in the direction we think the...
