When a hard day at work can still include sand. How does it feel to live on a picturesque Greek island , surrounded by beauty and excitement, when work responsibilities leave little time to appreciate it properly? The private diaries of Mark - the holiday representative at the Aegean Sun Hotel - reveal some of the sticky situations he encounters, including a predicament at the hospital, a confrontation in a hotel room , a dilemma on the bar crawl and a sleepless night on a flight delay while keeping his sense of humour and the ability to treat each experience with comedy. As he progresses through the summer, his working life takes precedence over his attempts to maintain a happy and successful private life , but for how long can that continue? He takes small comfort in some of the perks on offer, so when he occasionally guides the boat cruise he welcomes a little time on the beach to feel the sand between his toes , but will the people he is responsible for allow him that simple pleasure? This memoir style diary describes the Greek summer season with all its flaws and perks, showing what really happens behind the scenes of a package holiday. This is the third book of standalone reads in the Aegean Sun series. Ideal for fans of travel memoirs and true-life stories "I'm loving this series; it's great to hear what goes on in the background at the hotel" Amazon Reviewer "another brilliant summer read" Bookclub Reviewer.
