4. In this list there are unusual Souvenirs that vacationers brought with them, such as the toilet seat.

5. In some hotels clients had twisted door locks, and in a few peepholes. Interestingly, locks and eyes were removed very carefully, but neither the staff nor the other guests didn't see anything.

6. One of the owners said that he was robbed of a medieval sword hanging on the wall of the Suite.

7. The second, the tourists managed to make 1.5-meter wooden bear.
