    “Es war eine Zumutung. Das alles zum Preis eines 5-Sterne-Hotels”

    Things I like
    Die Lage war ruhig, sehr ländlich, Bach/Fluss in der Nähe
    Things I don’t like
    Es gab keinen Strom, Licht kam aus einer Batterie. Es gab in der Hütte keine Toilette und kein Bad , sondern nur außerhalb in einer kleinen Hütte. Nachts konnte man über Baumwurzeln stolpern. Es war nicht sauber, die Fentster waren nicht geputzt. Zum Aufwärmen musste man Feuer machen. Die Wände waren nur Bretter, ohne jegliche Isolierung.
