also bumped into kook and jst whilst inside (good to meet you chaps) and thanks to kook who gave us a really funny moment by stepping in someones poo after we had all warned eachother about nearly slipping on it....ha ha jeez it stunk
didnt get many externals given the circumstances of the explore this one is the female sick and infirm ward and the recreation hall and cinema to the right
one of the many courtyards in this place

directly underneath the rec hall was this other hall/cinema...im pretty sure it still had projectors but access to the projector room was from the outside and it was locked
the courtyard Restaurant
and the last day of service
