This is the pool at the posh hotel which is right next door to where we work. I go to swim at 7 am before work, and sometimes at lunchtime as well. We join the pool as a family group for a month at a time. The month rate is twice the day rate! There are quite a few volunteers who are members so it makes a good place to meet up and have a chat. Some volunteers buy food at the hotel, but I am more careful with my money and have managed so far to survive on my allowance, which is about 30 pounds a week. Last night I went to a poetry reading and art display in a gallery that was free. It is interesting to listen to the local intelligensia (he was into the philosophy of shadows) and it was also a great opportunity for people watching.More about the flat: We have a three bedrooms, two balconies and two bathrooms, and a big open plan kitchen/dining area, lounge. We have the biggest and best flat but then we do share it. We can have friends to stay whenever which is handy for volunteers who are visiting from the regions. Then we can visit them out in the regions to make affordable weekend trips away.
