When we finally found our way to the hotel all I wanted was a hot shower - to wash away all the mud and sweat. To my greatest disappointment all I got from the tap was cold water. Being tired and very frustrated with the situation, I called the reception and complained "there is no hot water". Soon there was a knock on the door and one of the members of staff entered the room - with a bottle of hot water. They thought I wanted to have a cup of tea. How amusing! We all just laughed.<br /><br />The result: Hot water, yes - hot shower, no.<br /><br />Ilona (female), Finland<div class="blogger-post-footer">http://feeds.feedburner.com/culturebumps/main</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
