Excellent location and facilities; however, it is unfortunate that there is no TV in the room and no air conditioning, which forced me to sleep with the doors and windows open.

Petra: ‘Hey! Why are you back so soon?’ Marcel: ‘I’ve come to tell you that I won’t make it to lunch with you, guys. …I’m going surfin’!...’ [I’ve gone to the beach later on to watch him with my friend Alison. The light, the waves, the sand… they were all incredible. I’ll always remember that afternoon. I secretly wished to be in the water and ride those waves, too. History came first at that time. But there’ll always be a ‘next time’.] #waterlust #BeachBound
