I’ve Got The Sun But No Plumbing
I must be the only person, who when they book a 4* hotel always seems to get a problem.
This time it’s the plumbing. The bath and/or the shower is unusable and because it’s Sunday, there is nothing that the staff in the Palacio Avenida can do. They could have offered to move me to another room, but they didn’t make the offer and as the room is otherwise comfortable and convenient, I didn’t think to push it at the time.
We’ll see what happens tomorrow.
But as my bath is at the moment being replaced at home and the showers aren’t top-notch, I thought that a few days away would be a relief not more trouble.

We have that sort of problem too. Worst ever was the Easter we arrived somewhere and they had no record of us – pre-computers – and were adamant we hadnt booked. We knew we had, and we had sent a cheque in full payment – it had been a late booking, no time for them post documents out to us. So we paid again, and checked the bank every day to see if the cheque had appeared at the bank. It didn’t. Nice break, went home, found a booking confirmation on the doormat, for a name which wasn’t ours, but vaguely similar, for a week at that place in August. The midweek dates we had booked for April turned out to be Saturday – Saturday in August, and the total amount we paid for APril was the deposit for August. We did sort it all out, but was very frustrating.
