What do you do...

...when the only thing worth visiting a place does not exist?

This island has always been known for its favourable climate and warm sea. This beginning of September both the air and the sea temperatures have been on end-of-October levels; the cold northerly increasing the feeling of cold and the sea suitable only for penguins. Since there are no penguins in the northern hemisphere and I'm not a mazochist...

Swimming pools are fiction for these folks and you can't stay in the bath for ever. You can't walk the same few paths over again now, can you, and getting drunk is no alternative. Besides, I can't get drunk here no matter how much I drink.

So it seems the only answer is to bugger off. And that's what we're going to do.

Better luck next time, eh? Perhaps not anymore... but who knows?
