So yesterday night I got of the bus in Denver after having spent the day in Colorado Springs. I hadn't really slept for like 2 days and all I wanted now was a shower and a bed. My thoughts while walking through the city to get to the hostel? Wow, I love Denver, it's really pretty. When I got to the Hostel though, that changed drastically and all I wanted to do was leave again.
So the hostel is nasty and I mean it. But let's start in the beginning. First, they told me they only take cash, no credit cards, ok I can live with that even if it annoies me I mean seriously, no credit cards?
Then the guy showed me up to the room. I looked inside and thought, 'ok, not the nicest, but it's ok, it's not a hotel after all'.
Then I sat on the bed and 'oh my god. It was like a trampolin, horrible I was worried I'd fall out during the night.
Then I wanted to check my mails and my computer didn't work for some reason which nearly gave me a heart attack. So I decided to give the labtop a break and shower first.
When I saw the bathroom I seriously considered not taking a shower, it was really, really nasty and it smelled, I'm not exaggerating, like shit and I'm usually not fussy about cleaness in hostels, but that was just too much.
But well, I really needed that shower. When I unpacked my sewing bag I realised that my whole shower gel had leaked and everything was soaked with it. And that was it, I seriously could have cried right then and there.
So I tried to keep calm, washed everything including myself and gave my labtop another try. The computer worked thank God and I even found an internet connection so that was the first good thing about the hostel, they really do have wifi in the rooms.
I spent the rest of the evening checking all my Greyhound timetables (of course meanwhile there had been some changes) and blowdrying my sewing bag before going to bed.
This morning I woke up and it rain. I always thought Colorado was like in the desert but apparently I was really wrong about that. I checked out but got to keep my room key (although I had already gotten my deposit back) so that I could leave my backpack in the room and get it back later. So I hit the city in the rain.
After grabbing a hot Starbucks I made my way to 16th Street Mall.
It's a street full of restaurants and stores. They even have a free shuttle bus that runs up and down the whole street. You'd never get that in Switzerland.
Next stop was...
... yep, Hard Rock Cafe
I already ran out of reading material (I only brought two book) so I went to Barnes and Nobels to change that. Check out what I bought:
Yes, Twilight in Spanish, I thought maybe I would improve if I read a book I almos know byheart in english.
After that, I walked to the capitol, it has a golden roof, but look yourself.
I don't know why I have a thing for capitols, I just love to look at them, they're always impressiv buildings.
Then I went back to the hostel, that's where I am now, to get my things to go to greyhound. Tomorrow, ALBUQUERQUE!!!
Talk to you soon
xoxo
