Got completely lost and turned around on the Tube. My goodness I used it every day for years! I've no idea how tourists cope. The weekend is when all mechanical/ maintenance work is done, and many stations/ some lines are closed. They're getting ready for the Games next year. Darned inconvenient though, even for someone with a working knowledge of the main connections.

I found my way to the hotel in the end. It was clean and had decent sized towels. I liked. Of course I wasn't paying anyway!

Another shot of ME ME ME in my room - still suffering the issue of how to take photos without an obvious camera shadow. As you can see, I cheated and kept my eyes out of the sun. I look cabbaged - I wasn't, I'd just arrived.

Second pic is a weirdly sited mirror.
Too low for a standing adult, too high for a seated one.
Perhaps I was given a room for people of restricted growth?
If so, they couldn't have got it more wrong - I was wearing my platform trainers which bring me up to 6 foot.
