Wednesday night checked we were in and decided we just had the center to withdraw. We are around 3 hours back and go to sleep.”
smoke detectors
Long could the company do not enjoy their sleep, because two hours later, they were suddenly awakened by a beeping sound. “At first We thought the alarm was a gsm mobile phone”, Chris continues. “We slept in two adjoining family rooms and names at each other exposing. When we through the window looked, we saw everywhere, blue flashing lights. In the hallway hung a penetrating something, and even though a lot of smoke.” Chris and his friends jumped right into their clothes and went to the parking lot for the hotel. “It was full of fire. There were plenty of bluswerken underway in an annexe of the hotel, where the kitchen was located. We suspect that the fire must have originated in a waste container next to the building and that the flames then are skipped.”
Compensation.
For the guests, there was, according to the local emergency services are never compromised. Still, Chris and his friends it is strange that they never evacuated. “When we came out, they were all a bit put out, but no one is ever at our door, knocking. Fortunately, we were woken up by the smoke detectors, because in such a something sleep would not be healthy.”
The eight Team showed the fire in their heart. “We were allowed only two hours later back to our room, so we just go straight for breakfast. We do not see this as a setback, but rather as an adventure. The outcome of the match was for us a much bigger downer. In spite of everything, we have the last night to spend in the hotel. A british national had everything very quickly cleaned up. As compensation, we have the first night not to have to pay.”
