We doned our bathrobes, and put on our highheels, and holding our glasses of champagine we went off to the guest swimming pool. We seem to break rules without even thinking about it. We were giggling to ourselves, thinking O.K. where is the office ( the place where they keep supplies for the chambermaids on each floor). "What could we take?" So we tottered around the hotel in our robes, went swimming, sat on the poolside and ate complementary sweets and chips. Then we had a 5 minute sauna and went back upstairs.
We found the staff elevator( by now we were dressed) and asked our way to the staff canteen. there we had a great meal for 2.50 Marks Their sea food salad was especially good, and their desserts.
Then it was up stairs again to really get the most of our bathroom. Two hours each in the bathroom we thought was the maximum. Paz went first while I ate, drank and was generally merry. When we had returned from dinner we had received the "turn down service" where they place a chocolate on your pillow and a mineral water on the side table - only people paying a lot get this! I watched a dirty movie in 4 minute snatches, as it was pay T.V. and in German.
Once in the bathroom I lolled in the bath, sipped champagne. We had only had showers since we arrived in Europe, so the bath was special. I used all the toiletries I had received as a present from overseas, and came out smelling fresh and scrubbed!
