On my return from the beach I drank a beer and read my book in the sunlit lobby bar. There were no other guests and looking out at the dunes it felt a little like staying in a rich friends house. I moved across to the restaurant area and ate a mediocre meal trying not to listen to a group of business men who were the only other guests. It seemed that most of the men were Norwegian, they seemed shy and awkward as if they seldom traveled or ate out. The others were Belgian who dominated the conversation and seemed to be flattering the Norwegians comparing Norway with their country favourably. The waitresses were clearly more urban here looking as if they had other more interesting things to do once they were off duty. As the table got drunker and louder I left the table and headed up to my room
