hotel

Today there are four stars instead of three stories, a silly hotel to finish last nights train journey, a journey with broken and therefore delayed trains, the trains all full of people with their bags and bicycles. The hotel was just an emergency measure, the hotel being the last one open in Schweinfurt. The pricey four stars were not a matter of choice. A sterile room with the rushing sound of air conditioning was not a matter of choice, just the impossibility of sleeping on the street and the lateness of the hour forced this.

The room is no more than a very comfortable cell, with a bed, and a bathroom behind a sliding glass door, and a strange plastic laminate system of cupboards.

To think that living here permanently would cost more than twice the income for a month!
