Above the Rest

Truly, this is one of the MOST comfortable and user friendly stays of my entire life. Not one, single thing I’d change. What makes it so spectacular?

  1. Toilet separate from the bathing room.
  2. Full size hair dryer on the wall with a nozzle that fits my diffuser.
  3. Kleenex box full and on the wall.
  4. Towel bar (electric drying) on the wall, and two towel bars for hand towels.
  5. WASH CLOTHS! Mitts really.
  6. Ample TOWELS!πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ‘πŸ‘
  7. Electric tea kettle with full size cups AND spoons for ease of making Starbucks coffee (via instant granules schlepped through Jamaica and CambodiaπŸ˜‚).
  8. An electric fan AND heating/cooling unit, not that we need it.
  9. USB wall outlets at each bedside table, along with an individual lamp and an outlet.
  10. Bedside tables at the OUTER edges of the beds, so plus one can stay up a bit longer without me noticing too much.
  11. Just a five minute walk from the ‘Square’ (piazza!🀣), and plentiful restaurants!
  12. A clothes drying cord strung across the wonderful bathtub, so well out of anybody’s way. I was able to wash a small load with my sink sides last night. They are nearly dry.πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ˜Š
  13. A wonderful, coffin size bathtub. This makes perfect sense because the area at the lower extremities is typically less than the area at the shoulders, and allows for a quicker fill and simmering, hot water as deep as the shouldersπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ‘πŸ‘!
  14. Trash bins throughout the room. I counted four!

I could go on, but time waits for no one, nor does the tour bus.πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚. Today we will be joined by our second guide (Chris left us in Normandy), and 89-year-old gentleman who was nine years old when American troops arrived in German occupied Bastogne. He remembers it well, and lives to share his knowledge with we ‘yanks’. πŸ‡§πŸ‡ͺ πŸ’•

Glamping

Well, that’s what my roommate Laurie called it anyway. Beautiful tents set on a deck overlooking the Nile. We needed escorts to and from our...
