I pulled out two champagne bottles. I thought, let's really celebrate our arrival in style. After all, we were on a holiday, and there was nobody to...make the rules, but us. We were breaking a lot of rules already, which wouldn't have been acceptable back home. But here it seemed not to matter so much, was not so naughty away from civilization.
