There are, or were when I got in a couple of hours ago, children in their pajamas playing mini-golf in the atrium, where this hotel keeps a little putt-putt course near the swimming pool. (There'd naturally be no point in having such things outdoors.) There are rooms on both sides of the hallway surrounding this adventure, and although being on the outside of the ring means my room has an exterior wall, I can't tell you how pleased I am not to share a wall - a window, even! - with the family fun area. :-P

almost halfway done

Three draws done. Three tomorrow, then theoretically one Sunday morning, but this may not even need to be played. Then a playoff to see which of the teams that finish at the bottom of the round robin gets to advance anyway. This is an unusual competition.
