Notes:   Deciding that there was not much fun at the pool he wandered off past the main lounge deck, and found a comfortable-looking anthill. With a quite appalling crash he simply tipped sideways and went to sleep, all of this within 15 metres of the astonished guests, who were watching from the deck.
