We stayed a few more days at the Plaza and walked around a lot but I can't remember exactly what we got up to, obviously nothing that great as I cant remember, maybe nothing, I don't know. Then we had to check out by 12.00. When it came to checking out, we made the most of the breakfast in the morning, then checked out and headed across the road to the Telegrafo. Check in wasn't until 16.00 and we had arrived at around 12.30 so we put our bags in storage and headed for the bar, had a coffee and a beer then played some cards. We had got so bad at remembering the scores so I started writing them down in a note pad to avoid cheating and rid ourselves of forgetfulness. At the reception of the hotel, there was an English girl also waiting to check in, she made some joke, I never heard but Frank did and he chuckled a little. At the end of our first game she came over and asked if she could join us. We gladly accepted and she came over with a beer. We taught her how to play 'Scupa' the Sicilian card game we had been playing the whole time. Its such a simple game it only took about a minute to explain the rules and after one practise game she sort of got the hang of it. Her name was Iona, I have never heard that name and phonetically it is even weirder, 'Eyeowna'. She told us that if the rooms are ready you can check in early, I went up and asked and the receptionist said the room would be ready in about ten minutes, enough time to play a couple of games of scupa. We went up to put our bags away in our room, Frank took her number in order to be able to contact her at some point, we arranged to meet up after we put our things away and get a bite to eat in you guessed where... bar Monserrate.
