HORROR HOTEL
There are plenty of television shows modeled around the ideea of Holidays From Hell. However none of them yet have use dthe sobriquet Horror Hotel, which is just as well because it is a real place in Sri Lanka.

Anyway, two miles from the airport, on the main road, we came across the first real sign that we were not in downtown greater Manchester.
