Tourist takes shark to hotel room. June 10, 2000 Tourist Takes Shark to Hotel Room Filed at 10:22 a.m. EDT By The Associated Press LISBON, Portugal (AP) -- A photo just wasn't enough to prove this fish story. A British tourist in Portugal who had a triumphant deep-sea fishing trip decided to take his trophy, a 5-foot shark, back to his hotel room. Only it was still alive. The 38-year-old Briton, whose name was not given, managed to sneak the slippery specimen into his room at the posh Marinotel hotel in the town of Vilamoura, the weekly Expresso said Saturday. He then called the reception desk to report that he had a live shark in his bathtub. The bathroom was flooded, according to hotel employees who rushed to the scene. The fish apparently still had some fight left when the man immersed it in the filled tub, the newspaper said. When the tourist checked out of the hotel after a week's vacation, he left a humorous thank-you note, saying he hoped the management had enjoyed the gift, according to Expresso. There was no word on the fate of the fish. It wasn't immediately clear whether the hotel restaurant serves shark fin soup. Copyright 2000 The New York Times Company
