Crazy Captain

The craziness of the day didn't end with the taxi. We had a taste for the apartment owner on the phone but it was till we arrived that we got a huge whack in the face of wild eccentricity. This guy was the real thing. He described himself and a rich retired captain who spared no expense designing his 90% green vegan tourist apartments. With huge pride he pointed out all the details of the decor including the expensive lighting, memory foam mattresses, the most expensive shower money can buy, a completely green fridge and air-conditioning and even his vegan cleaning products. Finally he took us to the common room, shared with other guests and pointed out everything is free including wine, food tea and coffee - and soya milk! He even made a deliberate point that he really means it. There are no limits. We left one bazaar and entered a new bizarre. He also repeatedly put down tourist hotels and said he tries to maintain something special for visitors and asks we show the same respect. He left us to it after offering us a bottle of wine and orange juice. Alone in our room you could really tell this was quality. But how strange. Where had we just landed?
