I have arrived, like.

At the airport I discovered I had left my Euros at home on the kitchen counter  cussing:

The cabby got lost, understandably as this hotel is a tad "isolated"

The manager or whatever seemed startled to see me and pored over a ledger for some time before announcing he was only expecting one new guest today. He showed me the booking. It had my name on it. I showed him my passport and he marvelled at the coincidence.

I casually enquired the whereabouts of the nearest bar, restaurant, supermarket, bus stop etc.

He produced a hand drawn map with no scale.

They are all a bare kilometer walk away down an unlit track.  eeek:

I can confirm that the bathroom drain is in the highest point of the floor and that air con is extra and the wifi only werks within 6 feet of reception.

It wasn't confusion or being startled.  It was the sudden realisation that the man standing before him was the same as that faded photo posted on his office wall. The same photo that is on the office wall of every hotel with big letters underneath stating "BEWARE" in 18 different languages.  The master of mayhem and the maelstrom of mongulation was here. In his hotel. Did you hear a loud bang last night?  Like a shotgun,  temporarily muted by a mouth round it?

Yumster breakfast today. Yoghurt and honey, peaches, bread, jam, coffee and, strangely, a piece of sponge cake  rubschin:

Not wishing to offend the nice folk who run the hotel or the daughter/waitress I took the cake back to my room wrapped in tissues and flushed it down the bog  angel1

It has blocked the bog  evil:
