Another example in that story you linked eanjay of the much repeated 'fact' that the apartment was only 50 metres away. (Actually it could be argued it was 70 metres away only if measured in a straight line diectly across the pool and through bushes.)

The reality is that the route was 120 metres and neither of the two entrances can be seen from the bar even in daylight.

The apartment is not inside the Mark Warner complex itself but sits on the corner of two roads,

One of the party would have to walk from the bar around the pool, and out through the security gate of the Ocean Club, a distance of some 60 metres.

Once out of the complex, they would have turned left on to Rua Dr Francisco Gentil Martins, a public road, and go a further 60 metres up the hill, through a three-foot high gate which cannot be locked, up a flight of 10 steep steps** and then in through rear patio doors, which were not apparently locked.

** These steps photograph 4 lead up to an unlocked door and look like an accident waiting to happen to me if a young disorientated child waking from sleep maybe went to look for parents.
