By now we had been traveling in our trusty little Opel, living out out of suitcases and shopping bags, the car was covered in dust on the outside and covered with towels, shoes, swimming apparel, suitcases, shopping bags with leftover shopping, a large white dirty linen bag and numerous other bits of detritus from three weeks in a car..... and up to the front of the 5 star Regent hotel we drive......
Pam exits vehicle and enters hotel to check in.....
Hotel porter exits hotel to assist me....
Porter now stands with hands gently clasped on his chest with a pious look on his face befitting the best of bishops while i am now trying to pack our Chinese laundry on wheels into suitcases and laundry bag....
"we've been travelling for three weeks" I tell him by way of apology...
The porter stands and patiently watches.....
A procession of suitcases, shopping bags and laundry bag now proceeded to form a minor mountain on the hotel doorstep...
"we've been travelling for three weeks" I tell him again by way of apology...the porter stands and patiently watches.....
And now enters or should I rather say exits the bag of toilet rolls all over the front step of the hotel.... the porter stands and patiently watches.....
Frantic running around herding the toilet rolls and now emptying bags of rubbish from the car, the mountain grows ...."we've been travelling for three weeks" I tell him yet again by way of apology...the porter stands and patiently watches.....
By now a small convoy of cars is backed up behind me all waiting to discharge their very elegant occupants with equally elegant suitcases... And the toilets rolls, well they roll
Pam is sitting chatting away inside, I am sweating outside and so the loading of the porters trolley begins, I'm quite surprised it didn't break a wheel.
And in goes the mountain to stand side by side other far more elegant luggage in the foyer......
Did I mention.... "We've been travelling for three weeks you know...."
