The tuk tuk approached the hotel up a little and dubious looking alley. Outside a rather big and solid looking sliding gate a young man with a big smile approached us and took our heavy bags with ease. We passed the gate and into what looked to be the beginnings of nice stay at a lovely hotel.
The hotel was very tastefully if a little bizarrely furnished. the furniture in the room was mostly made of concrete - a concrete bed frame, concrete desk, concrete sofa and even a concrete ledge on the wall with a reinforcing iron bar underneath on which to hang clothes! It was great - very simple but effective.
Right outside the room and for the first time on the trip, there was a pool! It looked great and it was not long until I was swimming in the clear (but slightly warm) water.
The hotel staff were a little shy of a tall white man but there smiles were beaming. this was going to be a nice place to stay (despite an odd smell in the bathroom every now and again!)
