Hotels

So I feel they keep getting weirder (is that a word even?). We stayed at a farm one night in Ireland and you had to pull a switch “on” to get the water to come out of the shower, mine never had hot water and then stopped completely after about 5 minutes. I gave up and went downstairs to another room. Amsterdam didn’t have a shower curtain, everything was stone, so it dried…but what about all my stuff on the shelf that I didn’t want to get wet? The minibar was weighted—so if I picked anything up (or God forbid accidentally knock it over), I was charged. I cordoned off the area to ensure no accidents happened, my luck I’d take out a 6-pack and not even enjoy it. Then, there’s no top sheet, just the bottom sheet and then a comforter. This trend continued to Cologne. So basically, if anybody sweats, that’s what I’m sleeping with? They don’t wash the comforter after each guest, I wouldn’t think. The top sheet was always my safety net from germs. The other strange thing in my current abode, I guess I have an alarm, once I get into the room I have to put my key into another slot to get the buzzing to stop. I guess it’s a good safety feature, but it freaks me out every time, like I’ve just been caught red-handed. My favorite part though…they left fruit snacks on my pillow to welcome me…they are shaped like sheep and the package has pictures of sheep with numbers on them. How cute is that! O.K., maybe I need some sleep.
