Off to my second hotel.

Dani only slept in the Alamo. Limey only slept in the Ibis Budget (as below).
I win because I slept in both.

NB. Limes did question my idea of winning. I'm not sure I managed to get it across very well. Perhaps because it's essentially incomprehensible.
It is almost entirely a private joke, although the phrase, "Once again I win the game" does come from The League of Gentlemen.
But the idea of silly, silly, very silly games in which it is only possible to win comes from assuaging the natural boredom of being a reasonably intelligent single person.

Today I cut 300g of Cornish Quartz Cheddar cheese bang on.
I win.
See?

Anyway.

Those of you who follow my posts obsessively will remember that Mum & I stayed in an eTap hotel in Cardiff to pad out a trip won by my brother in a raffle.
eTap is now Ibis Budget, but the idea is the same. Basic accommodation, clean but no frills.

We checked in on floor six and got the keycard for the lift and the room on floor eight.
Twin room. The shower cubicle opens straight into the room, the sink is in the room. The toilet is separate. There is a telly and a little desk with a stool. And WiFi.

We were there to sleep.
It was (you may say) satisfactory.

1) Dana arsing about because I told them they didn't need to pose, I was just taking photos of the room
2) Shower and sink and reflection of me lovely me
