Firstly, let me preface this post by saying that without my good friend Hilary's insight, I would barely have made it out of Kelowna before starting my European adventure. Now, let me continue by saying that Hilary advised me to pack a sleeping bag, as hostels don't have linens. A grand idea, as no linens would result in chilly and restless sleepy time. However, with this advice came a catalyst for battle of an insurmountable thread count. Hilary's husband, Eric, claimed that the hostels would have linens. Why wouldn't they? Hilary retorts with admirable fervour on the lack of hostel linens. And with this disagreement comes the grandest of all discoveries, a social experiment for the ages! The Great Linen Race!
On this race, I will be keeping track of the number of hostels I visit that contain linens. A full disclosure on all linen items can be requested at any stop along the way. With that, I will make any note of any specific linen items that are missing at any checkpoint. With that, here is the first update:
Frankfurt - Meininger Hostel - full set of linens (sheet, pillow, comforter, and towel)
Munich - Meininger Hostel - full set of linens. To be fair, I accidentally booked a double private room, so this room may not count.
Current score,
Eric: 2(1)
Hilary: 0
Stay tuned for more exciting linen fun!
