It's 10am on Saturday and all's quiet at Somnio. Lauren was up until 4 on the late shift so I got up early this morning to make the pastry run for our guests' breakfasts. One guest checked out early and we have three rooms to make up before this afternoon. I don't want to wake up any other guests so I'm going to hold off on the cleaning for now... or at least that's my excuse when Lauren wakes up at noon and expects everything to be set up.

All in all, this hostel thing is a lot easier than I'd imagined. We've got a lot of cleaning in the first half of the day and a lot of hostessing in the evening but it's very dead in between. Who wants to hang out in your hostel when you're in Barcelona? Even if it is a place as nice as this.
