... OK, I have to call my boss to ask him for the adress from the hotel. My colleague and I chatted about our next days on the show while we walked to our cars. "OK, by... see u tomorrow". So, I have to call my boss... "Oh, sorry, I forgott to forwarded the email to you... I tell you the adress." After that he was startled and sayd: "Oh my god, we booked the hotel from tomorrow because our colleague (that one who's ill) wants to arrive one day later." So I have to look for a hotel, let's see what I will expect. I know that the hotels arround the exhibition are allready booked out. My idea was to drive on the highway and leave them after 50 km near a bigger village. This idea was very good in my opinion, but it doesn't work well... after propably 5 hotels and maybe 150 km far away outside from Birmingham I had imagined how I sleep in my car, without supper and wake up with bended bones, without breakfast and arrive on the show lately without a shower or something like that... till I saw a small hotel sign down the street.
"Sorry, we are allready booked out, but I can call another hotel nearby if you want." Actually the other hotel has a free single room, the last... for me. "Thank you very much for your help I'am apprechiated." I hurried to my car and drove to the hotel. When I arrived on the parking space I was supprised... a great new hotel... more than I expect in this mess. Now I was propably 30 hours awake with only a few naps on the journey. I would be happy with a large beer and a sandwich on the bar... I went to the bar, sat down in a cosy armchair and fall asleep before I finished my beer.... till the barkeeper wake me up and told me how soft and gentle the beds here were.
In the morning I didn't hear my alarm and I was to late... I have to leave without breakfast and a 150 km drive to the show... propably a bit to fast but I had luck in these case. I was excited what will happen on the show today, my first in England. I was glat that my hotel today was very near by the exhebition. I didn't know in this moment that I rather would drive 150 km in the evening than sleep in this hotel nearby.
