27th November 2008: So, another day, another blog post. Thanks to the relatively widespread internet access and the relatively decent computers and having the eee I am actually blogging more consistently than at home. Who knows, maybe this will start a trend in my blogging! At this very moment I am back in the oppulent splendor of the Anfi Del Mar wifi zone. I really must take a photo to show what a gorgeous little place this is. We have marble, brass, stone, wood and glass. And lush armchairs. Wood and cotton. Last night we decided to stay in the hotel, because there was a show on, and the in house shows tend to be quite funny. We weren't disappointed. There were musical numbers, but these were mixed with a mime, who at one point refused to wear a nun's habbit, and grabbed someone from the audience and made her wear it, then gave her a mic and abandoned her for 30 seconds, before booing the bewildered woman and storming the stage and snatching the mic from her. He also refused to come on the stage once because his applause wasn't loud enough. Then there was the point where he was wearing a feather boa and sparkly top hat. Finally, because it was his last day, the rest of the show members threw a bucket of iced water over him as he took his bow. Then we smuggled alcohol back to our room. This is an annual event for us at RIU Vistamar. We're not sure if we're allowed to do it, but we always seem to manage it somehow. Last night, after getting out the lift at the resteraunt, and then at a dead end, we decided to be brazen and walked across reception with four drink in total. We got away with it, and then went to bed finally at 1am. We were reasonably drunk when went to bed, hence the fact that despite getting out the lift at floors 5 and 7, I completely missed the internet floor, the floor I was trying to get to. Floor 6. And for breakfast this morning we came to Anfi Del Mar for breakfast on our club rep. This is one of the highlights of my holiday. Watching my mother and father destroy the reps. It is a beautiful sight. You see, Anfi isn't cheap, and they are always trying to make another sale to you for another week. Mum and dad aren't interested, and Anfi believe they are just holding out. So today they sent a 17 year vetran of selling. She was...interesting. We discussed economics, unemployment, the location of my girlfriend and the reasonings behind it, which narked me a little. How dare an Anfi rep comment on my relationship. Bad Anfi. Anyway, in the end she also met her end with my mother delivering the death blow of "You won't make a sale, but don't worry, every other rep has fallen too, so don't take it badly." We believe it will merely be a matter of time before the son or daughter of the late owner will be sent to us. Anyway, I got two full English breakfasts, five cups of coffee and a glass of tropical juice out of them. Paid for by Anfi. So, tomorrow we are off to Sioux City, the place where they filmed A Fistful Of Dollars. And on Saturday we are going on a VIP tour of the island, including lunch at a traditional Canarian resteraut. Should be good. Apparently it's very good for photographers. Just a quick update between writing that entry and this. We have been given a gift basket by the directors of the hotel. No idea why, because no explanation was given. It was just waiting when we got back to the hotel room. Fresh fruit and a bottle of what I believe to be sherry. So, yeah, that was a little odd. The only explanation I can sort of find is that according to the brochure, RIU Class members get "delights" throughout their stay at the hotels. I can only assume that this is one such "delight". Nice. Permalink | |
