and it was one of the best places to stay. back then it was full of surfies. it cost us $5.00 a night, there was no hot water, air con or pool. Everyone sat in the restaurant at night and jammed staff included. we met so many lovely people there. Anyway 1999 I returned to visit after not being there for 10 years, some of the old staff were there but alot had gone. I walked into the restaurant and it was full of europeans and the staff were talking in French. I got a price list and now it cost something like 120 euros a night. But I realised it had lost its flavour. I have been back to visit and show friends over the years and each time I walk in I feel the old charm has long gone. Oh the memories of the good days are still fresh in the old mind.
