Basil the rat

A couple of times we had to wake Tina our driver up as he was sleeping either on the seats or in his hammock; he had had a late night out on the town.

In the early evening I popped out to town and the place was jumping with pubs and bars playing loud music, neon lights and street stalls set up everywhere. Our hotel feels like an oasis. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant again and whist sitting at a table near the pool we saw a very large gekko run up the wall - the largest I've seen. Then we saw a rat run from the plant area at the side of the pool into the restaurant area and out again - something it repeated several times. In the UK the place would be shut down, here.... well its just part of life. We have nicknamed it Basil and hope to snap a pic later!
