Just Point It!

If you see these 2 getting on the same transport as you, re-think your plans!
Following the sunset cruise we enjoyed an evening and breakfast chatting with Paul and Rachel (they clearly liked our guesthouse as they were still returning to it for meals from their jungle hideaway). They were cautious of telling us any of their plans in case we sabotaged their hotel bookings and we carefully took note of every tour company they had ever used to be sure not to share their experience on any magical mystery tours.
What struck me was that clearly Paul had a compassionate side and was very concerned with my failure to communicate with Darren – especially the bit where I had asked if the water was clean at the river mouth and I had thought that Darren had replied, “yeah, sure”. It is not clear if he said “yeah, sure” or “yeah, for assholes” but Paul was damned sure I would not have a failure to communicate again.
The evening after the cruise he presented us with a Point It book, a very clever translation tool without words, only pictures. As I thumbed through it I quickly found the "don't swim here!" page that would have saved me from my present predicament of skin infections, weeping ears and bleeding eyes……….
