Pool
The other part of the fitness regime includes swimming. I used the pool on my last morning as I knew that I would have to try and last a long time after breakfast before my evening flight. So I went for a swim at about 8.30am for about an hour or so. I was initially surprised to be honest to see a mother and young daughter already there, but from what I could tell, the daughter just wanted to chill out by the pool and the mum was eating breakfast — damn it was making me hungry.
I didn’t have my goggles and was wearing contact lenses so didn’t swim to hard. After about 30mins of (gentle) swimming I decided to lie down on one of the loungers. Having enjoyed living in a place with no smoking for so long, I totally forgot what it’s like to be around people who smoke. Unfortunately two guys came and sat right behind my lounger and lit up. It’s a free world so I didn’t want to say anything but I really think that something that has such negative health implications shouldn’t be allowed in any place there is a chance of public congregating. To get rid of the smoke smell, I just put a towel across my face and snoozed for a bit until my stomach started to get very very angry and had to go for breakfast!
