AHHH! I hate internet cafes. I'm sitting in an internet cafe around the corner from our hotel (which is awful. details to come) and above my browser window is a countdown of how long I have until I have to pay more money. It's really stressful. 14 minutes and 22 seconds to go...
The Hotel: The Hyde Park Court Hotel is awful in every way. awfully small, awfully dirty, awfully expensive for what you get. Our toilet is in our shower stall and you can brush your teeth from the shower stall. If I flex my elbows I hit both walls. The room is no picnic either. For those of you who have heard me complain about my accomodations at SVA, you can apply the same descriptions here. It's tiny and cell-like, has barely enough room between the bed and dresser to stand up and we found a bottle of sour milk on our window sill. Did I mention that we have four heavy bags and there is no elevator? A word of advice to future travellers: Stay elsewhere.
So I've got 10 minutes left and I keep having to edit my mistakes. The keyboards here in the UK are only slightly different than US keyboards.
Today was a productive and tiring day: We walked and shopped a lot along Oxford Street and Covent Gardens. Tonight we're going to a show. The Producers. I can't wait cause it's an awesome show. Gillian has never seen it but I have. It should be lots of fun.
That's all I've got for now. More to come after we've done and seen more. Keep the comments coming!

Saw the show with the Gene Wilder commentary, and thought about you guys all along. I knew when you were laughing and when you were groaning. It was *almost* like yall were there, but not quite.
ReplyDeleteWe miss you.
Have fun and stay out of the crummy hotel -- you're supposed to be out collecting London things to take back. What is a "moor" by the way? It must be difficult being in a country that speaks a different language.
You must find the most interesting (for whatever reason) gravesite/stone, and take a photo or make a rubbing to bring back for me. I love that stuff and could add it to my charleston collection.
Most important, HAVE FUN and enjoy being IN LOVE!!!

Hey! I've been READING all your dang posts, I just didn't realize I could leave you messages here! Jeez. You cranky bloggers. And PS - next time one needs to know a decent hotel in England, one should ask one's English friends, no? :-p
