London Arrival

Now I was feeling a certain degree of stress about finding accomodation in London.  Yesterday (Saturday) we had booked an apartment for 6 in the centre of London.  We had found an apartment on a web site but the owner had said it was unavailable and had pointed us to another apartment on another web site.  So we had booked it but had not heard back from them.  Then we had received an email from this guy saying sorry it was not available after al.  I thought that this may have been because we had booked it.  Another email asking for him to check this possibility.  Emails and phone messages sent to the web site and to the fellow.  Yet no one was contactig us.

Spent some time looking for alternate accomodation but all the web sites showed everything full up.  Resorted to making a list of phone numbers for hotels with the intention of calling them as soon as we got off the train.

As we got off the train, Marcus said my bag was ringing.  By the time I had dug out my phone, it had stopped and the nuber was not shown.  Luckilly Megan's phone started ringing moments later.  We chatted to the man - Dan.  He said to take the tube to Leicster Square and he would meet us there. 

We did that and now we are ensconsed in an apartment a few hundred meters from Leicster Square.  The danger is that we are surounded by theatres and cafes and we may never see Megan again as she takes in one show after another.

We have broadband here and so hopefully we can add some pictures to the blog in the next day or so.
