Matala tyyny ?

Kokemuksemme oli kaikinpuolin myönteinen. Olin matkalla lapsenlapseni kanssa ja osallistuimme hÀnen toiveestaan toritapahtumaan. Siksi hotellin sijainti meille oli mitÀ mainioin. Majoituimme astmaatikolle sopivaan siistiin perushuoneeseen. Suomen kaikissa hotelleissa saisi olla varustuksena myös matala tyyny niiden joillekin sopivien super pulleiden lisÀksi. Osaan itse kuitenkin nukkua ilman tyynyÀkin, joten tuo ei haitannut mukavaa matkaamme.
