"Sometimes, catastrophes can turn out to be blessings in disguise. Our hotel in the Atlas Mountains where we were due to spend the latter half of our honeymoon had no heating or electricity, so we were kindly upgraded to ...a five-star hotel in the mountains called La Rosaraie at no extra cost. Due to some lack of communication, the manager hadn't been informed about our upgrade arranged by out travel agent. As I bathed in a paradise pool in a mountain valley, the manager said, 'Sorry - this hotel is not for you. Big mistake.' I replied in my Yorkshire voice, 'Sorry- there has been no big mistake as this hotel is very much for me. We are here and we are not moving. Tough!' The big mistake was soon cleared up and half an hour later, we were given the honeymoon suite that had a huge 8 foot by 8 foot-square bed that was big enough to hold me and Sheila, two Moroccans and their camel. The Moroccans truly know how to say, 'Sorry.'" William Forde, November 18th, 2012.
