Back to the hotel with my new guard, he wanted me to sell him a bottle of rum I bought in duty free as he isn't allowed to make any duty free purchases, if he does he will lose his job. I sold it to him at retail value, no point trying to make even the smallest profit, even if I could it would be pointless, the Litre bottle of Mount gay rum only costs $9 US, absolute bargain when a 70cl bottle in England costs about £16. While we waited for the driver to come and pick us up and take us to the hotel, we went for a walk. My guard, this was the second guard now, he had a slightly harder accent to understand but I could just about get what he was saying. He wanted to show me some local cuisine, something called a double, it was two savoury pancake sort of things with a chick pea curry and hot sauce. They were actually really tasty, sort of like a savoury veggie crepe. This time at the hotel I had the rest of the afternoon and evening to kill, I had some stuff to do though, I had to search for alternative options just in case something else goes wrong.
