Il Duce's Brothel

Was there just the one block or were there two adjacent angled identical blocks?
I agree the beds had seen better days but a few "John Collins" ensured a good sleep.
My enduring memory is of taking a short cut from the pool to the bar across the cricket square and sinking ankle deep in sand in the cover point area.

Does anyone remember the monkey ?
On the pan where most of us were parked was a monkey on a very long chain attached to its collar.It was quite tame and would jump up and cling to you.
It didn't like you making quick movements and if you tried to get rid of it too quickly it would bite.
Good job we didn't worry too much about tetanus etc in those days (c 1963-68)

No monkey but a camel grazing the fence (hedge), first thing I saw whilst taxing in.
