Lap of Luxury<\/p>\n
We’ve arrived in the lap of luxury. Berck reserved us a room at a “four star” hotel near the airport when we had a wireless connection in Lugano, Switzerland. We’re paying 69 Euro, but the regular cost is 118, this being November. The bathroom has a bidet and little packets of everything you might need, including toothbrushes. There’s a flatscreen TV, a HUGE bed (queen sized), a closet you can lock and take the key with you, a safe you can program, and a minibar that includes old fashioneds and martini glasses. After sleeping in dorm beds that didn’t even come with sheets, it all feels very extravagant. Unfortunately, no free wifi, it’s only available at 3 Euro per hour or 10 Euro for unlimited access. <\/p>\n
We’re all set to fly back tomorrow morning. Hopefully, we’ll be able to get to the airport (which SHOULD be a quick drive) and return the car without any problems. Then there’s a too long trans-Atlantic flight in coach to look forward to, though supposedly quite empty so we can stretch out a bit, and hopefully, I can write some more until the laptop’s battery runs out. Then we’ll supposedly get home very late. Berck won’t tell me when. He keeps saying he already told me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
