Anyone stayed in one of Trip Advisor's Quirky Hotels or somewhere even quirkier?
I once stayed at the Peabody Orlando (which really isn't quirky) but my room overlooked the tennis court, where the resident ducks walked for their morning exercise. And I also got to serve as assistant duck master during the Peabody's noted afternoon tea service. This is a ceremony where the ducks arrive to the sound of trumpets from an elevator and walk a red carpet through the area for high tea. We were working with a couple of new ducks, the duck master explained. "Under no circumstances, touch a duck or pick one up. Just guide them with this walking stick." However, one duck was not cooperating. So there I was at the end of our 'parade,' standing in the elevator with the 4 or 5 'well-behaved' ducks using the long stick to block their exit from the elevator. And in the elevator with the ducks, I waited. And waited. And waited. Finally, here comes the duck master, errant duck under his arm!
