One of the joys of travelling is - of course - the people you meet. And travelling solo means that you get to spend a lot of time people watching (and secretly analysing).
At the B&B I am staying at there are two American couples who are travelling together. Every evening, before going out to dinner, they set up their little 'bar' and have their pre dinner drinks. Very civilized, I must say. They are well prepared; a bottle of Gordon's Gin, a bottle of Johnny Walker, a bottle of J&B whisky (all bought duty free on the flight over from the States), and to add some local flavour a bottle of red wine. All before a dinner with which they will no doubt have more local wine. And why not?
Jean-François, the owner of the B&B is amazed at how much the two couples are drinking each day, as am I. The house dog and cat have seen it all before and take it in their stride.
