Day 80. El Nido, Philippines.

Here's a great idea for curing a hangover.

Wait until the hottest part of the day - 11.30am should do nicely. Pile into a rickety mini-van, get out the travel-scrabble, and ask the driver to stick only to the roughest dirt track roads he can find.

Sit sweating and dehydrated for a minimum of six hours, then - just when you think things can't get any worse - allow a muppet like Mintowt to win the game with the last tile available.

Complete and utter humiliation. I will never, ever let this happen again.

Did the lummox cheat with lots of Polish words? Thus ridding himself of a fine collection of Z, Y and C's. I hate him.
