    feeling pep-y

    Lucea to Point, to Fiesta/GrandPaladium Resort

    purpose of excursion:::>>> check the camels

    mi reach
    as approach, notice some tourists inside ride-ing ride-ing ride-ing

    jog to gate
    security-man chatting pon cellie
    i enter
    he puts call on hold

    "..Ah, ah, Sir .... blah blah raa... we closed @ 3:30.."

    * sigh *
    here we go again, mi say to self
    been here 1-week without *this*-foolishness
    ...was wondering WHEN "it" would start

    i take a deeeeeeeeeep deep breath
    check mi watch::: 'twas 5:30
    mi-SAY::>>> "...So,,,, you mean those foreigner-tourists inside riding NOW, have been riding SINCE 3:30...???...""

    he mutters, mumbles, feigns no-speaky-English, looks dumbfound-ed like i'm speaking Russian or Sanskrit, or what-ever

    he & me go back & forth

    mi-SAY:::>> "..is there an office..??.. I wanna chat with someone blah blah raa raaa.."

    he pauses
    "..OK...go to the office.."

    mi jog to office/Gift Shop

    cho..!!..
    the place was chock-FULL of tourists/foreigners:: purchase-ing/getting DVDs & photos of their camel riding experience

    ...don't/didn't THEY KNOW the place was closed since 3:30
