Having been visited during breakfast by yet another manager (again, of what I'm not sure - deck chairs, perhaps), we were visited early afternoon by the overall manager, apologising again for the problems and insisting that he upgrade us to a suite ... which he assured us was beautiful.
We happily accepted, albeit certainly didn't expect it....and this really is a suite - vast and ... and, let us just say, interesting in decorative style!
It's themed..... I'll leave you to guess what theme, but if you were to imagine a Triad opium den (circa 1980) you'd get the idea...
Whilst I don't share the designer's taste, at least the hotel has tried to put things right. We even have a 'butler' now! And the view is spectacular... Our new home for the rest of the holiday sits above the external dining area which, last night, featured live entertainment - the star of which sounded like he was enduring a slow and very painful strangulation! I fear that is where our penguin moment is scheduled for in just 30 minutes time...
We decided a late liquid lunch was the only way to navigate through the horrors ahead. Not least because LP hoped it might have the analgesic effect of alleviating yesterday's horrors - the physio....
Whilst he is man enough not to complain, he came out of the appointment looking a deathly shade of pale, not least because, after locking the treatment room door the therapist manhandled him in a manner that was more friendly than one might have expected, to the extent that LP was concerned the physio's interest went an inappropriate way beyond what he'd paid for! Andeven if it didn't, said manhandling left LP barely able to move this morning. Good job my interest him goes way beyond a fortnight of rampant misbehaviour!
Hey ho.....all adds to the fun....and now we must finish a couple of stiff gins in an attempt to get through whatever this evening holds! The butler just bowed to me and said he was preparing our 'special evening'....ye Gods!
As I write, LP tells me there is an awful lot of activity going on down 'on the rocks' below! Heaven help us....penguins now on tour!
Later.....
