For this 37 my first day or night in any new place is always quiet and very 38 happens. 39 my first night in Algeciras was very different. This night was very 40 and unusual.
At that time 41 in Southern Spain was a dirty and 42 looked-after city. I arrived late in the evening by 43 . As soon as I got off the boat, I went to look for a 44 . I found a small hotel not far from the boat.
This hotel looked 45 and untidy from the outside. But I was very tired and did not know my 46 around the city of Algeciras. And so I decided to stay in this 47 hotel on the quay(码头). I also decided to stay in this hotel for another 48 . The moon was full and it was a clear, 49 night. From the hotel I could 50 the sea. I could see the huge rock of Gibraltar in the bright moonlight.
The hotel had a narrow 51 and no name. When I went through this doorway, I had to climb up narrow and dark stairs to the first floor. I 52 a small cupboard with a desk in front of it. This was the hotel office.
An untidy and tired woman was sitting beside the 53 . When I said I wanted a room for the night, she took me 54 some more stairs to a room on the second floor. Inside this room the landlord was sitting playing cards with some friends. He was 55 his game of cards and I was simply a nuisance(讨厌的人). He looked at me when the woman told him that I wanted a room. Then he said, Room Five, and turned back to his game of cards.
