The Hotel
Well arrived safe and sound at our hotel yesterday and you will be pleased to know I do have valid car insurance. Hotel is beautiful and more excitement from Fi as she didn't know where i had booked us in.
The room is gorgeous although there were some initial issues, not huge but issues non the less.
1. The main light in the room didn't work, a small problem considering all the other light fittings did.
2. The bedding. Me being me needed my hypo-allergenic bedding so i didn't have a reaction through the night. Shame because I am sure Feesy would have loved the goose feather bedding that comes as standard, but you marry me and there's going to be compromise.
After a short walk down to reception I explained the situation to the bemused looking staff they said they would send the duty manager down to sort it out. After a short while he arrived and I again explained my situation to him and he apologised and offered us a free tea and coffee, even though that was provided in the room anyway, and then said he would be back shortly with the bedding. It was at this point I realised my error and this was confirmed when he arrived back at our room behind a mountain of quilts and pillows that were exactly the same as we had on. Apologies accepted he left so we could settle in.
That night we decided to spend some time in the hotel bar which was as beautiful and sumptuous as the rest of the hotel. "pint of Smithwicks please an half a coors" we received a pint of Smithwicks and half a Budweiser, oh yes, and a bill for €8.50 thank you very much. But the hotel is beautiful and I will get some pictures on as soon as. Roll on tomorrow.
