So Many Hotel Rooms, So Many Taps

I never thought there were so many different types of taps for showers and handbasins. During our travels in England and now in  Germany, it amazes me how many different designs there are.

 

From the standard old hot and cold on either side in the older hotels to those with levers you have to lift and turn for hot or cold. Or press down and twist. Those you simply hold your hands under to sensor start. The horizontal bar with hot and cold turners on either side to pulling a cord hanging from the ceiling to start the shower in one renovated old mansion turned BnB.

 

It was quite a challenge at shower time figuring them out while we had 5 nights, 5 different hotels, travelling up the coast of England as far as Whitby then back to London to fly out to Germany. With Germanwings.

 

England didn't warm up much at all it was mostly around 20 degrees, much like the winter weather we left behind in Aus.

Germany by contrast has been warm and sunny

 

Having a good adventure, the days are just flying by

 

Also having a bit of confusion with the different symbols on this ruddy hotel computer keyboard.

 

grrr.

 

Seeyas.

  Did you just wish her a good fart?


For English readers perhaps "Gute Reise" would be easier on the eye!

Thanks ladies!

The last time I travelled in Germany was 57 years ago. On every Railway Station were signs saying;

"Gute Fahrt!"

They don't anymore, Erica.

 

They also don't have ticketing windows at the suburban or regional stations anymore either, but that's pretty much the case everywhere.

The transport system was fantastic, in Hong Kong also, it was easy to get around.

 

They had double-decker trams in HK omg I was boggle-eyed!
