We slept well. There was no compulsion to do anything. The day before had been exhausting. When we rose, we watched television for a short while. For breakfast we had a ‘big’ vegan breakfast each.
We felt guilty but we left the air conditioning in our room on. It was so slow at cooling the room down we felt like we had no choice. Our top floor room got baked by the Sun. We could only conclude that they have failed to recharge the air conditioning unit or it’s reached the end of its life. Cold air, it was not producing.
We sat by the pool for a lot of the day. The staff had a party to celebrate the new year. We enjoyed the atmosphere and later were allowed to eat some of their food. Not enough to satiate us, we ordered a takeaway from Street Three.
We ate it in our room while watching The Shield. Followed by the new series of Black Mirror. We still had plentiful cake and fruits. We’d planned to leave the next day. But a guy called Scott from the South East Asia whatsapp group messaged us. He was helping a local man start an adventure tour company and wanted us to be guinea pigs. We jumped at the prospect of being shown hidden temples and promptly booked another night.
Surly They Won't Make It
