Interesting Things in Hotel Rooms

Can I have them back please?

No - I'm still wearing them I can't find them

Air conditioning units in Brazil regularly offer the choice of not sleeping if it's turned off and hot, or not sleeping because it sounds like a tractor when it's running.
Theres been fun trying to figure out which combination of bedside and wall switches turn all the lights off without turning another one on too.

A minibar stocked with Westmalle Tripel was pretty good.

Tell me about it. I was staying in Cairo last month. I had 8 switches controlling 10 lights, but there didnt seem to be any logic to how they worked. Getting all the lights off at night was a bit like a game on the Crystal Maze, with me running round the room trying various combinations of switches. I just didn't have Richard O'Brien shouting at me.

When I was in Tibet I discovered you could order oxygen on room service.

Recently Easyjet announced that they were starting to fly from Belfast to Reykjavik. So I consulted with Mrs Vidor and decided we would take a few days there next spring. So I started researching hotels and I came across one which stated that all rooms come with an acoustic guitar.

The other bonus you get in Reykjavik is sulphur. The hot water is geothermal, so everywhere smells of sulphur all the time. It takes a day or two to get used to it.

Oh, and the hot dogs are made of icelandic ponies, apparently.

In was once in a hotel in Tunisia and saw JCVD there. Not in my room, I grant you, but in the same building nevertheless. He was quite friendly too.

Maaany years ago a girl I knew flew home from Amsterdam and when she got home, opened her case to find that it was completely full of porn mags, seriously bad ones too. She managed to work out that she had picked up an identical case belonging to the very rich lead singer of a very well known rock band (wish I could remember who because I would tell you with relish) and eventually she got in touch with the singer, who lived in a mansion miles away in Cornwall. He didn't seem very bothered about getting his case back (not surprising really) and she had to send a courier with his case to collect her case, at her own expense. And yes, when she got her case her underwear had been thoroughly rifled through....

I was there earilier this year and visited a centre for Icelandic Ponies, then had Pony in the hotel that night... briliant timing

Don't let the sulfur get to you, it is not really a problem

The only mistake we made was going out in Reykyavik on a Saturday evening... brilliant place for a night out, very hospitable and welcoming. What started as a fe pints ended up returning to the hotel at breakfast!

On our arrival at a hotel we had booked in Calcutta a very large goat in reception!

What did you have for lunch in the hotel?

On Finland, condoms in the minibar (unopened).
In Germany a pair of blue Stilettos .... Sadly not my size ....

I spent a frustrating time trying to find the room I was booked in to at the Belfry Hotel. I was carrying a suitcase, a suit-holder and my running shoes so it was too much of a faff to go all the way back to reception to get further instructions so I chanced an unlikely looking staircase that seemed to contain nothing more than the janitor's accoutrements but I pushed on through anyway. The double doors of the room bearing the same number as my key opened up to reveal..... a magnificent suite, a chaise-lounge, a bowl of fresh fruit, a bottle of Moet on ice, a huge bed, another hotel-room sized room within the room I was in containing a double bed, a HUGE plasma screen TV and a balcony overlooking the first hole of the golf course. I assumed some mistake had been made as this was the captain's room but no. It was a medical conference there so no golfers were staying so I got...for four nights....the captain's suite of the Belfry Hotel! Which was nice.

If they will match the underwear, then we may have the start of a Cycle Chat outfit

The smell can be rather ripe but you soon get used to it. TVC had a whale burger, I did not
