The first person i should mention is Graham, someone i have met before but lindsay had only heard the rumours. A ruthless dictator who instructs everyone, even his best friends (especially his best friends), telling them what to do at what time according to a prewritten and widely distributed itinerary planned years in advance. I'm sure you can see the difference in his idea and my idea of a good holiday and the dangers my life was threatened with when linz was introduced to him after running over 2 minutes late for our tour and when we almost had to call 'everyone off the bus' after Linz almost missed it cause he was too busy patting a dog.
The next is the Cook. The cook is an ignoramous. It was embarrasing and degrading to be sitting at the same table as him when he yelled (almost blew a temple) at the Spanish speaking waiter in English for getting an order wrong when obviously it was his own stupid fault for entering a country without speaking the language. We later overheard him saying how impossible it was for anyone over here to make it anywhere in life without learning English...tell that to the other 300million people who speak spanish ya dickhead. It was also funny to hear him completely misinterpret the tourguide's information and try and tell everyone we were looking at the first ever Catholic church (yeah thats right, older than the vatican, built 2000 years ago by Jesus himself...dickhead).
Lastly is the tour guide... or whatever she was (certainly not a dentist). She starts the $70 Aus per person tour by saying 'i am not a tour guide, but i'll tell you what i know'. Her job basically consisted of helping us on and off the buses and trains. Money well spent, a rare mistake by the fascist leader of the pack.
