fancy meeting you here..?

yup. Something I hadn't realised about travel (how had i not come across this before?) is that you bump into people you 'know'. Not actually know well or Biblically, but other tourists who you've met in the last tourist stop. We're all over here to see the same 'sights' and so roughly on the same itinery so in each town you visit you're likley to come across someone you've met.

I wish I could remember people's names.
