My heart goes out to the bus loads of tourists currently being ferried from one national landmark to the next. With visibility in our rainy season down to a few hundred meters, breaking the journey to use the toilet, have a coffee and a snack, must be the highlight of their day.

Can't you just imagine the conversations they are having in hotel rooms at night. " That green apple place had very clean toilets and good coffee too, lets come back next year and bring the kids" or "Oh honey, I thought I spotted a castle today before the bus windows steamed up".

And all the time we thought it was high prices and poor hygiene that threatened to damage our tourist industry.
