Home for 8 days

I looked at my watch as we grabbed our bags from the bus. It was 12:10am on Monday morning! My day had begun Saturday morning at 5:00am, so I was really feeling like I'd missed out on a lot already at this point.

It doesn't take very long to check in. There are several people ahead of us in line, but the staff has been anticipating late arrivals with the WTO and have several working the front desk to speed up the process. After taking information from our passports, Mike and I head upstairs to our room...Room 1218.

Like the rooms in Europe, you have to insert your room key into a slot once you're in the door to "power up" the electricity. This card stays in place until you check out.

As Mike stepped in, I only saw one bed. I knew that the original reservation only had one bed, so I asked Mike if they had given us the correct room. He stepped on in, and sure enough, there were two beds.

Yes, these are single beds...they lie very low to the ground and in a very tight space. Here's a perspective of the entire room size. Keep in mind my bed (the one on the right) is against the wall.

With little closet space and only two drawers, there isn't much room for our luggage, yet alone a place to leave shoes (it's probably 3 feet between the foot of the bed and the wall). While the television cabinet is very nice, it's top seems an appropriate place to store shoes while not in use.

It's small, but we're calling it home for the next 8 days...
