Backblip - Walking Shoes

End of day tired. 6 1/2 hours in car - only 1 of which as a passenger, 1 1/2 hours flying, several hours of waiting, visit to a customer and lunch with the boss.

This is my shock therapy entering a somewhat strange and dated hotel in nowhere-ville, Germany. The room was clean, but strange smell and musty - cigarette burn on the chair, stains on the carpet, wall lights with a dirty raty string to turn on, old style tube TV with non-functional remote and scotch tape to hold the batteries in, bathroom and other fixtures from the 70's... Clean sheets, good mattress and pillow. I slept. ...until 5 in the morning when traffic picked up and I was too sleepy to get up and close the windows.

55 Euro including a full breakfast. Beggars can't be choosers!
