Welcome to the world of bathing at the Golden Tulip Hotel in Konstanz, Germany, where I can stand in the middle of the bathroom (or slightly off center) and touch all four walls, including from inside the shower to the mirror over the sink on the opposite wall!
Ah, yes, the shower......a two foot square shower base in the corner with a curtain around it. Try this sometime: attach a seven foot piece of hose to your shower outlet (I call this the Temperature Delay). Next, wrap a bedsheet around yourself, step into the shower and let 'er rip. Taking care not to bump into the super touchy controls so that at any moment (actually about 15 seconds after you ran into them, thanks to the Temperture Delay), you are treated to a totally unpredictable flavor of pain; either ice cold or skin peeling hot, depending on which faucet you ran into during your dance with the freezing cloth bandage you are wrapped in.
Of course another 15 seconds elapses before you determine if you have improved your situation or only made it worse. Girls would love the sink. There is a handprint area of space on either side to place toiletries or more like toiletry. I do like the heated marble floor and you might want to stand up before flushing or you could go down with the ship if you know what I mean. Anyway, just a few morning observations before I leave for work.
BTW, I accidently drank a yogurt at breakfast. Who knew?

Now I can picture how hard it has to be to find the perfect bathroom :D Tell me when you found it, I'd like to see it.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from your restaurant - wagon acquaitance of the train Nürnberg - Jena
Good to hear from you! Our conversation on the train made the trip much more enjoyable and interesting. I must tell you though, that when I got to Berlin I checked into my hotel near the airport and sat down to watch TV at 17:00. I was so tired I fell asleep. When I awoke, I realized it was light outside and the alarm said it was 8 o’clock. Since I had a 10:30 flight I raced to take a shower, packed my bag and ran down to the front desk. Out of breath, I asked the desk clerk when the next shuttle was leaving for the airport. The clerk looked concerned and said “Is there a problem sir? Because you just checked in three hours ago”…………..
ReplyDeleteI went back to my room and went to bed. What an idiot! At least I was rested the next morning.
Best regards,
