"Hell is other people",said Jean Paul Sartre.

Yes,a stumblebum for a neighbour,combined  with relentless  heat that gives no respite in the Tropics,can be a double whammy to endure.
Having had my fill of "free" wi-fi,not "free" at all, really,as a glass of orange juice at $5  pays for the use of wi-fi  handsomely [and I had three], but it is lovely sitting in a comfy chair in a pleasant foyer  of a hotel,even though there was,surprisingly, no ventilation of any kind in the public areas of the best hotel on Samoa, Sheraton,   I decided  just after 4 to walk back to the ship.
The 12 or so minutes seemed  in the scorching heat twice as long.
It was a relief to be back on The Queen Victoria.
The stateroom was cool, but the balcony floor unbearable to walk on and  the chairs impossible to sit on.
So I washed all my clothes  [ there is a clothes line above the tub ],had a shower and went to dinner.
In bed flipping the TV channels I happily deduced I had the best port day on this cruise.
