How do you leave when the hostel is shut?

It was an odd sort of place and I wasn’t entirely convinced I’d made a wise choice.  But I arrived late, hot and bothered, with little energy left in me, my bike or my phone.

Okay make the most of it.  The bike storage was on the balcony.  The view from my window was wonderful.  This morning I packed up and went to check out.  Err, there’s no one there. There are bars on the front door.  I buzzed the buzzer.  Nothing  So I went for breakfast and returned after 10.  Still nothing.  How odd.  I know the Spanish are late risers but…

So I left my key, the cash and my card with a gracias by the front door and thought…  How great is this?  The world is so trusting, and my favourite bit of the stay?  Well that’s easy.  The checking out!
