Chalet

 


We’ve stayed in a lot of hotel rooms, from the very posh to the austere. Some came with soap, shampoo, conditioner and lotion. Others didn’t have washcloths or electrical outlets. One thing nearly every hotel room had in common was a hot drink station: a tiny microwave or electric kettle, along with cups, stirrers, tea bags, instant coffee, even tiny packets of sugar and non-dairy creamer. It’s a lovely idea, to start or end the day with a cup of something warm and aromatic. Except we don’t drink coffee or tea. And these clever little hot drink stations never seem to offer anything else. So, we’ve taken to providing our own supplies: a few envelopes of hot cocoa or spiced cider mix, or a little mint or chamomile. They take up next to no space in our luggage. And after a long day of travel or sight-seeing, they’re a delicious way to unwind.
