So.. what will £25 buy you these days...?

Well, funnily enough, it'll buy you a bed for a night in Victoria.. one of the nicer parts of London. After leaving Lincoln, I caught 3 trains in order to reach London's Victoria Station.


A'Joan and Kathryn waiving goodbye!


When I stepped off the Tube at about 10.00pm, little did I realise that if only I'd walked in the other direction, I could have asked the Queen to let me crash at the Palace for the night. (Ahh, the twists of fate...) Instead however I am ensconed in the luxury surrounds of the 'Georgian House Hotel'. (Typed with sarcastic inflection).

I am on the third floor and my room is literally a bed, a basin, a tv and a window. I had a quick shower after arrival in the shared bathroom, (those that know me well are aware of what lugging a 15kg bag up 6 flights of stairs will do to me physically) and was pleasantly surprised to find the bathroom facilities really quite adequate! I did however of course have my anti-bacterial wipes and my thongs ('flip flops' for the Brits in the audience!)

An extra £3 has bought me an hour on the 'net, however I'd better get to bed as my train out to Gatwick Airport leaves at like 5am!! I'll pop some photos into this post when I get time later in the week!

You know you love me.. XOXO!
