We’ve written so many Camino blogs that we have to refer to posts from previous blogs. We wrote once about an apparent rule, at one point, maybe not now, that hotel rooms had to have a light over the door, presumably so you can find the door easily at night if there is a fire. The problem is the lights are bright and are hard to cover because they are high and smooth (so putting a towel over it is not an option).
We had one on our second day (in Rinlo) and it was as irritating as ever. We had a coat tree in our room so I moved it by the door and filled it with stuff to block the light.
That’s right, in order to defeat the fire safety device I put a big thing by the door that would impair our ability to exit the room if there actually was a fire.
