Last Sunday was our anniversary but we celebrated one day early on Saturday. As some COVID restrictions are gradually lifting I’d booked us a hotel room for one night and dinner. I cannot begin to express how great it felt to get a little variety in life and to be able to eat out for the first time in almost four months.

So, on Saturday afternoon we headed to the hotel, Hotel Glo Kluuvi, where I’d booked a GLO Luxe room. Once we had checked in, we enjoyed the bottle of champagne we’d taken with us. As the room had a bathtub, I took a relaxing bath. In due time we headed out and walked to the Restaurant – or so we thought. The restaurant in question, El Rey, has two locations and even though I’d specifically chosen to book a table at the location closer to the hotel I told hubby we were going to the other location. After walking for slightly shy off half an hour we arrived at the wrong location only to find it was closed. After a short moment of confusion, I called the restaurant and said we’ll be a bit late, but we are coming, and hubby got us a cab.

The hotel had made special arrangements for Breakfast due to the restrictions. They could only let 60 people have breakfast at a time, so they handed out one-hour breakfast slots when you checked in. The only slot available when we checked in was the 7:30 to 8:30 one, which was too early for us. The receptionist suggested we could go collect the breakfast and eat in our room, so we opted for this choice and the receptions booked a pick-up slot for us at 9:30 to 10:30. So, at around 9:45 on Sunday morning we headed to the breakfast room to pick up breakfast. All food was premade and packed, so it was super-easy to pick up and we were provided with thermoses for coffee and tea. I almost preferred this way of having breakfast privately in our own room.

All in all, we had a really nice anniversary, and it was great to get out of the house for a night and finally be able to eat out again.
