Oh the smells you can smell

This morning my husband and I came down for breakfast, and had a nice brunch together.

After breakfast we both decided to check our email at a little internet place in the hotel. Not a bad deal at all. It's kind of under a roof and kind of open to the outside. As we were sitting clicking away reading email and what not we smelled a smell that was not pleasant. It smelled like Poo. And I'm not talking about Winnie the.

It seemed to be coming from an air vent, so before going upstairs to our room we complained to the girl behind the check in desk. Her english was not too good. The conversation went like this:

Us: Hi, we just want to let you know there is a poo smell over by the computers.
Her: (Blank look.)
Me: A bad smell, it smells like poo, over there. (waving of hand in front of face and pointing to computer area)
Her: Poo? (blank look)
Hubby: Poo, refuse, defacation, crap
Me: (continued waving of hand under nose and crinkled face expression.)
Her: Oh you mean the sea food...
Us: No a poo smell by the computers, over there.... check it out.

then we left.

And we decided that we would not be trying the sea food.

Smell still eminates from the vent by the computers.
Don't want to know what it is.
We don't live by the computers so it's not really a problem, just need to endure while using the internet.
Hope you are doing well friend!
