As he made his way towards the sea, Sansom was struck by the high number of tourists. Listening to their excited exchanges as they headed out for a night on the town, he detected several European languages, some North American voices and a number of British dialects. Street hawkers and shop workers called out phrases and invitations to the passing trade in accomplished predominantly-British accents, like well-trained parrots.

Sansom appreciated the clear advantage that such a seasonal population would be to him. Not only would he blend in better as a foreigner but, if the shop and restaurant signs and menus were anything to go by, English was widely understood here.

He allowed himself to be swept along with the flow of people until he arrived in a pedestrianised area that led out on to the marina. The sight of hundreds of ocean-going vessels lifted his spirits as they had always done. However, the association with the loss of everything that he held dear could never be far away from such a scene and he soon found himself remembering his last wonderful days with his family and then their horrific and needless deaths.

He found himself standing outside a bar advertising Steek & Chips but was equally drawn to the sign that offered happy hour drinks, two for the price of one. For the first time since he had returned to civilisation, he felt the need for what his ex-military friends would have called a good drink.

He went in.
