A basic hotel!

· Japan

The hotel I've booked for 2 nights is pretty basic. I do have a bed and my own toilet, but cannot lock the door to my room from the outside, only the inside (hopefully things left here will be safe during the day tomorrow!).

The shower and sink are outside at the other end of the parking area. The shower is in a cubicle, and really powerful and hot! The sink where I shaved is actually outside (I was only being watched a bit while shaving!).

The old lady that runs the place was interested in my travels, although we struggled a bit with communication. I asked if I could wash my clothes and I'm sure she was demonstrating using the sink to do it, but later she arrived at my room with a slice of apple pie (wow!) and took my clothes away to be washed in a machine 🙂
