It will take 10 minutes
Sunday, February 19th, 2006In Receptionist place:
- Excuse me, Miss, do you know where the Mansfield Road is, please?
+ Yes, of course (she grabbed the map) here it is. Our hotel is here (not in the map!) you can walk and it will take around 10 minutes…
- Brilliant. Thank you very much…
Then we walk, and walk, and walk…. The temperature was 5 degress, windy and also misty.
Maggie: Are you sure we’re in the right path?
Me: Don’t know, we should ask again or we will get lost..
(asked one man on the bus station - weird, there were many bus passed us - , and then walk again…)
Finally we arrived in Queen Elizabeth House, I was sweating under my coat because we have to run. Our bloody journey took 3o minutes, plus running!
Maggie: You know sis, as soon as we come back to the hotel, the first thing I want to do is go to the receptionist. Miss, thank you very much for your help, but for the future reference, absolutely it will NOT take 10 minutes.
The Receptonist was lucky because when we arrived in the hotel, she was not there.
