Latin Love Lessons

Poppy acted as ‘guide’ because we were staying in her family’s apartment, she’d spent several previous holidays here. For all three girls it was our first holiday without adults. But it was my first holiday abroad so, although I was trying for cool and sophisticated, in reality I felt wide-eyed the whole time.

I had only been to three clubs in my last year at school, here we averaged three clubs a night. Sexist maybe, but females had free admittance, often with first drink ‘gratis’. Tickets were handed by good looking PR people in the commercial centre where we shopped for groceries.
