Lovely and Warm

Just across the street from my hotel.

My tiny room.

The view out my window.

So I've been here two days, and it's been so much fun. Arrived around 11 am yesterday and spent I'm afraid to figure out how much time trying to find the hotel (since I didn't bother to get directions from the tube station to the hotel -- it was only blocks away after all!). I finially found it and it's great. The room is small, but all that I need, and it's in a great location.

Already had to buy bandaids (plasters) for a blister, but it's worth it. Did a little wandering around yesterday and then crashed at the hotel and slept for the rest of the day. Today went to Spitfields market in the morning, got gifts and stuff for myself. Then went to Kensington Palace and Kensington Garden for the rest of the day. Beautiful, but cold. Tomorrow -- the Tower of London.
