I am that dumb American girl. I blew out the hotel electricity. ALREADY.
I had been calculating time differences for the past week and was feelin' pretty great about my plan to combat jetlag... until I woke up this morning, rolled over and looked at my phone. 3:00am Holland time. I was wide awake but I rolled over, shut my eyes tight and willed myself back to sleep. An hour later and I was still counting sheep. So I got up and decided a leisurely morning full of time to spare wouldn't be the worst thing. I read up on power converters, transformers and my curling iron settings and popped it in the outlet feeling all accomplished when it quickly started heating as usual. So at 4 in the morning, I sat comfortably in bed, watching a little tv and curling my hair. 10 minutes later there was a loud pop and I was suddenly sitting in the dark.
I, of course, made it a way bigger deal than it was in my head before walking full of shame to the front desk. The receptionist was completely lovely about it, saying it was not a big deal at all and my lights would be on again in no time.
To Holland, to the lovely desk girl, to this hotel: I will get this down and will stop being such a nuisance very soon. I promise.
Ps. Does this mean I probably shouldn't try again...? Only half of my head is curled! Haha
