How complete do directions need to be?

November 30th, 2007

As a general rule, places in towns require a little more in the way of directions than places in the country and therefore it’s natural that directions to hotels and whatnot vary in the amount of detail that they include.

We’re in the lucky position of being the only building on the road between two villages so we say that we are 3km after one of them or 7km after the other depending on the direction that people are coming in. You really can’t miss us. The building is right on the road and it’s massive. The winery next door even has a truly massive sign painted on the side of it.

So what happens? Well, despite us being the only building on the road, despite us being massive and despite us being well-lit, we’ve just had yet another couple zoom straight on past us. Twice!
