A WOMAN'S RIGHT TO DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
Something I can’t stand with these sorts of trips is when the people working on the resorts try to convince you to do activities that you don’t really want to do. Personally, if I want to go on an active holiday I go somewhere completely different where things, you know, HAPPEN. The whole point with being here is inactivity.
Still, there are Swedish people working for the hotel (almost all the people here are Swedish) that try to force me to go on biking trips and similar activities for ”only” 50 Euro. Finally, just so that one of them would shut up- and since I, well, like alcohol- I agreed to go to a ”cocktail class” yesterday (I felt like that was something I could bear since, well, it involved alcohol.). The girl told me to mix vodka and lemonade. Totally excited and waving her arms she was like ”weeeii, there you gooo- cocktaaaail!!!” Ehh… no?
Today I was harrassed by ”Viktoria” when I’d fallen asleep at the pool. Although she had absolutely nothing to say, she REFUSED to leave me alone.
”Hello there!”
”Hi?”
”I’ve never talked to you before!”
”Eh.. no.. who are you?”
”I’m Viktoria!”
”Ok.”
Silence. Viktoria looks at me with curious eyes.
”So, Viktoria… Can I help you?”
”How’s your holiday?”
””Great, thanks.”
”Amazing!”
Silence.
”Feel free to ask me questions about the hotel etc.”
”Oh, that’s ok, I don’t really have any questions.”
”Amazing!”
Viktoria still insists that I ask questions. However, when I ASK questions about trips into the small town nearby, the weather forecast for the week, shopping etc Viktoria knows… nothing. Except that everything’s ”Amazing.” Still she just… WON’T LEAVE. She just stares at me. Eventually, I tell her that I really enjoy doing, well, nothing. And that I’m perfectly fine on my vacation. She says ”Amazing!” but still won’t leave.
After 20 minutes of sheer pain dad walks by. I tell him that Viktoria wants to talk to him. Problem solved.
