Godt ophold

De var meget søde og det fungerede fint med at købe 20l vand for 10$ (specielt efter de købte en el pumpe) Rummet var hyggeligt- der kom en del sand fra taget når det blæste- men hyggeligt. I Afrika er der altid noget det er i uorden Løs vandhane osv. men badet fungerede godt Fint pool område og stor morgenmad God restaurant lige ved siden af-KKB
