[QUOTE="LTfit, post: 1171972, member: 8594"] Asking at a bar, the [I]policía local [/I]or a villager in the street about a potential place to stay is one thing but knocking at a random door with the expectation of receiving lodging is a whole different story. I would only do it in the case of an actual emergency. The Dutch are know to be [I]brutaal [/I](cheeky) and direct but after 30 years living in The Netherlands I still wouldn't do what that woman did 😉. Knocking on a door to say hello to someone you have never met except via the Forum I have done. On July 13, 2010 I knocked on Reb's and Paddy's door when passing through Moratinos. They were away celebrating their wedding anniversary so Kim (now of the Stone Boat in Rabanal) offered me a cold glass of water and some grapes. I always remember the exact date as it is also my birthday. Since then I have several times been a grateful recipient of their hospitality. [/QUOTE]
