No plug sockets!

Now I travel with a six-gang, that is an extension cable with six sockets. This allows me to charge my phone, iPad, camera, headphones and laptop in one go and with minimal disruption to my hotel room.

So I am in a nice ocean front suite on the West coast of Barbados, a huge balcony and the sea just a few feet away, my iPhone decibel app has just recorded a peak of 84 db from the noise of the crashing waves. Anyway, do you think I can find a power socket not already in use? Well I did actually two outside on the balcony... But that's not the point... Nothing inside... Very frustrating.... Had to unplug a lamp.

Unusually for me I have actually spent some time in the room, last night I actually watched TV and this afternoon read and dozed a little on the balcony.... Ok it was only for an hour and half but that is much longer than I normally spend in my bedroom (without sleeping).

And another thing.... The hotel provides a coffee making machine but no fresh milk or a socket to plug the machine onto! No plug sockets!
