Laivahostelli s/s Bore

Yöpyminen yhden henkilön hyttihuoneessa oli mukava kokemus. Kaikki toimi mainiosti ja nukuin hyvin. Ikkunasta oli näkymät Turun linnan suuntaan. Yhteisissä oleskelutiloissa katselin mm. kymppiuutisia. Aamupalalla oli tarjolla superhyvää riisipuuroa, yrttileipää ja paljon muuta maistuvaa. Bore on edullinen ja mielenkiintoinen majoituspaikka Aura-joen rannalla. Aamusauna jäi vielä kokeilematta, mutta ehkä seuraavalla reissulla. Suosittelen laivamajoitusta lämpimästi!

Todella natiseva sänky, luultavasti tiensä päässä. Sisäänkäynnillä jyrkkä ramppi ja sisällä paljon kapeita portaita. Ei ole esteetön majoituspaikka.

WCnkin voi siivota

Hytti oli karu, kuten osasinkin odottaa. Mutta WC oli jäänyt siivoamatta edellisten käyttäjien jälkeen. Aamianen oli hyvä ja kohtelu asianmukaista.
