Mr Paul

Is the General Manager at the City River Hotel and he came out to welcome us personally and to ensure all was well with our room.  After advising him to keep his distance due to my cold, he then mentioned that they had had flooding problems last September and while not as severe as Thailand, the water had broken its banks and had reached the hotel forecourt.

That's never happened before and that's quite scary as it's distance and there is a main road to pass too.

Still, it was a very warm welcome back.
