Hotels in London - Prices and Reviews

After their last amazing adventure one would have thought going to France for a few days would be trouble free eh? Well yes, apart from forgetting to book the long term car parking and getting the cat into the cattery..... bad parents!

There is just enough space in the passports for another immigration stamp and the bags are ready, just t...

As before I stopped at Heathrow airport. It is not the most exciting airport in the world, and it usually saddens me when I walk through there. To begin with I walked behind Davíð Oddson (see link for details), who was on the same flight as me. He seemed tired, but thinner and friskier then often before. I don't hate him like so many Icelander, ...

Today we flew to London (VERY early) where we arrived at Luton airport. We discovered then why it was cheaper because it was difficult to get to london city from there! We finally found a coach which took just over an hour, then we transfered to the underground then to a bus and walked a little and found our hotel!! Whew! The rest of the day was...

This morning I left Africa! It is so strange to think that I was ever in Africa, and that I have already left. When I boarded my British Airways plane my African life changed immediately. No more African greetings, just quick hellos, classical music was playing not bongo flavor, and of course all the white people. Luckily I was seated next to on...

Not to waste any time, we decided to head down to London for our first weekend away. After a lot of kafuffle and realising you had to book tickets to catch a bus we decided to go all out and pay $180 for a train. Luckily we were staying with Chris whose family very kindly let us into their beautiful home. The next morning we left early to pack i...

Welcome back, loyal travelogue groupies. I apologize for keeping you in suspense for so long, but computer time has been difficult to come by lately. Today, though, we all get caught up. I'm going to back date my entries as well so you all can keep track of the time line as well, if you wish. Here we go again! Arriving in London last night broug...

Oh Britain! Even though, I had a mere fleetingly sleep deprived 24 hours in London, it has still been one of the highlights of my trip. After my neverending flight from Tokyo, I was greeted at the Heathrow by the lovely miss Freya, who greeted me with a much needed hug. We chatted and chortled away, seemingly to be non stop talking for the entir...

I have minded the gap. I have ridden in a double-decker bus. I have eaten a traditional English breakfast. I have fallen asleep on a bus while horribly jet-lagged. I have been waken up by a nice English guy so I did not remain on the bus. I have seen the London Eye. I have shared feelings of fear about the London Eye with an Austrian friend. I h...

The coach was broken a few times on the way back. I had tears in my eyes straight away when I was thinking of saying good bye UK in a few hours. I didn`t almost sleep. We arrived to London 2,5 hours delayed. I stayed in hug with Mr Curly Hair for last moments and didnt want to stop. When we were leaving the bus, he said: "I don`t wanna go..." He...

Today is our last day in London :(. We started by heading to Buckingham Palace to watch the changing of the guards. We had planned to take the tube but the circle lines were closed for maintenance, turning Victoria station into chaos. We ended up walking since it wasn't very far. The ceremony was about an hour long and involved lots of guards wa...
