Day 1.
After a long wait for our bags at the airport we finally found a taxi that would take us to our hotel. An hour and a half later we arrived at the most magnificent building and gardens that was stuck in the absolute middle of nowhere.
As patience isn’t one of his virtues Rob wasn’t happy even though it had been him who had booked this ‘bargain holiday’ over the Internet.
At the reception desk we had more problems. It quickly became evident that German tourists mainly used the hotel as the staff hardly spoke any English. Being typical Brit’s we obviously didn’t speak German or Spanish or anything other than English. As there was a problem with our reservation this meant that we were having terrible problems trying to register. Then, out of the blue, a ‘white knight’ appeared.
Well, not a real ‘white knight’ but a group of 5 teenage German boys wearing shorts and basketball vests as if they had just returned from the beach.
“Hello. Can I help?” the tallest asked in a faultless English with only the merest hint of a German accent.
“We can’t get booked in mate.” Rob muttered.
“Can I see?” he asked as he took our Internet receipt from my husband. The boy read it carefully then spoke politely to the young girl behind the counter. They each pointed at various parts of the document until the girl grinned and went into her office.
The boy handed Rob the receipt back. “She confused you with someone who was not due to arrive until Saturday. I’m sorry. She is getting your keys now.”
“Uh, thanks mate.” Rob replied embarrassed.
“Hi, my name is Didi. I am also staying here, with my friends.” He then turned to his friends who all waved and smiled.
“Hello and thank you very much,” I offered him my hand, “I’m Andrea and this is Rob…my husband. We are from England.”
“I guessed!” Didi laughed, “I am sorry. That was not fair.”
The receptionist returned with our room keys and some more documents. After a couple of stress free minutes we were unlocking the door to our room.
“At last!” Rob huffed as he dropped the cases onto the floor.
“God! It’s fantastic!” I gushed as I whizzed around the room opening doors and cupboards. When I opened the shutters in the bedroom I was greeted with two of the German boys standing on the balcony of the apartment opposite. We waved to each other as I surveyed the pool and bar area. Suddenly I felt as if I was finally on holiday.
Back in the living room Rob had found the porn channel on the TV.
“I might have guessed!” I scowled as he stared at two huge breasted girls wrestling on a bed.
“Guess who are opposite us?” I asked as I put the kettle on.
Rob turned and shrugged his shoulders.
“The German boys. The one with long hair waved.” I told him.
“Gay boys all of them.” Rob chuckled as the blonde girl produced a huge dildo from under a pillow.
“I’m sorry?” I quizzed him, “Gay boys? What makes you say that?”
Without taking his eyes from the screen he went on, “Well, look at them; they’re too good looking to be straight. Five lads like that…together…. On holiday…definitely!”
I shook my head knowing that it would be pointless to argue.
Later that night we passed the boys as we went into the restaurant.
“Hi. Andrea?” Didi greeted me, unsure how to pronounce my name. “How is your room?”
“Fine,” I replied noticing his twinkling blue eyes.
“Yeah, fine thanks,” Rob mumbled.
“Are you eating in the hotel?” Didi continued as one of his friends tapped his watch, “not going into town?”
“We are a bit tired after all of the travelling, so we thought that we would have a quiet night.” I smiled as Rob rudely made for the bar. “How far is it to the town? Can we walk?”
Didi laughed again and shook his head, “Not really, it is 3km, we have a car and I think that you will need one to.”
With that his friend with long dreadlocks tugged his arm and they left.
Rob handed me a drink and asked, “Is it cold out there?”
“No,” I shook my head not knowing what he meant. Then his eyes went down to my nipples, which were now clearly poking through the thin material of my dress.
My husband grinned as I blushed and turned away.
“You’re going to be disappointed…. I stand more chance with him than you do!” he laughed out loud, “I’m telling you – gay as a Bishop!”
During our meal we planned sunbathing around the pool the following day, then we’d get a taxi into town on the night then hire a car the following day to discover the island and most importantly – the beaches.
Day 2
Rob and I had been lying by the pool for over an hour when I heard a familiar voice say, “Hi. Do you like it by the pool?”
I looked up to see the German boys walking past, obviously on their way to the beach. Didi was standing next to my lounger, only dressed in baggy surf shorts, trainers and dark shades.
“Yes its fine, thanks.” I replied. Rob looked up from his English newspaper and smiled.
“We prefer the beach. It is less crowded.” He told me as he bent down onto his haunches.
