But then you get in the shower and if you’re about 6 feet or over, this is the view that greets you during your nakey time. An empty lot with workmen. And unless you’re into that kind of thing, it’s slightly disconcerting to look at workmen as you shower.

To be fair, we checked out the angles and decided there was no way we could be seen by anyone unless they were 7 feet tall and peering over the wall but still. For prudes wallflowers like ourselves, disconcerting. We pretended we were in I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here and showered in a bikini and sunglasses.

Not that that would stop us coming back to the Orbit In, or even that room, because the room was a delight – a large private terrace, one side of the room being glass-walled overlooking the pool, and a delightfully old school, pink tiled bathroom. The hotel was lovely and quiet, and the room also happened to be without a doubt the cleanest we’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in. Or rather, it was upon check in, but then the cleaners didn’t come in on day two. Never mind.

Yeah, maybe we could get used to this peekaboo thing after all.
