THE HOTEL.

My car reaches the hotel where I want to stay.

I get out and go to the hotel office. Here I ask if they can give me an accommodation.

“ Certainly”, answers the clerk, ”we have got several rooms”.

“Would you like a suite or a single room?” he continues. I say that I would like a bed-room with a bathroom attached. The clerk says he can give me such a room on the third floor. I ask about the price of the room.

He informs me of the price and soon everything is settled.

I hand in my passport, fill in an arrival form and get the key to my room. He does as requested.

I look at my room. I like it very much. It is very comfortable. I can have a fine rest here. I ring for the chambermaid and inquire about the meals at the hotel restaurant.

Next I obtain information about the hairdresser’s, about where I can have my boots cleaned, about where I can have my linen washed (if there is a laundry service at the hotel), etc.

She answers all my questions.

There is a lot of time before dinner and so I settle down quietly to rest.
