We arrived late at night and were greeted at the airport and presented with the traditional garland of flowers for around our necks. I was so excited! We arrived at our hotel to be greeted by many noisy youths having a lovely time away from the parents. Our room was dark and very damp and looked liked something from the seventies - I was heartbroken and it was costing us £500 to stay here in this horrible youth hostel!!!
I got up early the next morning and logged on in the reception (the only place where there was wifi) and found a suitable alternative not far away. By 10am we were in a beautiful hotel with our own rooms and a pool. We had to pay the other place £170 compensation for cancelling and this hotel is $100 per night each but trust me it's worth it.
The town is only small and a bit delapitated but the people are lovely and we have already booked lots of stuff to fill our time here.
BTW if you think I'm being a bit stingey with the photos - it's taking an age to upload them so I am being very selective!

At the end of the day we went for a meal - a healthy meal with fish & veg (ignore the chips, wine and beer!) - and watched the sunset
