Where not to stay!

Guten tag! Und how are you this fine day? Nice to see you. Glad you missed the coffeepot on your spiral down from cyberspace. You're getting good at that! Fill your coffee mug and tease a virtual doughnut onto your plate ...you look famished! Say ...thinking of going to Berlin, Germany? Here's a place you may not want to stay...

Food looks good! Rooms look good. All the amenities, but for one quirky little detail the travel brochures may not mention...

The "trendy" 25hours Hotel Bikini Berlin, located adjacent to the Berlin Zoo and offering some of the best views of the city from its floor-to-ceiling windows, has famously positioned the rest rooms of its Monkey Bar in front of the windows where those heeding nature's call are clearly visible to gawkers.

Guests are merely warned, by the Trip Advisor website and by the hotel itself (with the admonition, "Please be careful. Not only the monkeys are watching"). [Daily Mail (London), 7-30-2014] 

Of course, after a dozen tankards of hearty German ale and a few 'schnapps' thrown in, who cares!

Prosit!

See ya, eh!
