Suddenly my nerves stood on end. It might be nothing but I decided pass the park and instead drive over to the local coffee shop. Just as I came up on...the coffee shop the patrol car turned onto a side street. As soon as possible I headed back to the park but this time there was no one behind me so I turned into the park.

The hotel I was booked into was more of a palace than I had imagined. I was given a suite comprising a large day room, high ceilinged with huge fans revolving slowly to keep the air moving. Large windows led out to a balcony that overlooked the extensive gardens. The bedroom was only a little smaller than the day room with windows that also accessed the balcony. The bathroom was a symphony of marble with every facility you could expect. After the flight and that terror drive, I needed a shower..
