London.







Just got back from 3 weeks in the U.K. Had a marvellous time, didn't want to come home. Had a very smooth flight out, no trouble changing planes at Dubai, arrived at heathrow on time. My suttle bus driver was there to meet me, so second hurdle down. (I was concerned about changing planes at Dubai and catching my shuttle to the hotel.) amonsgt other things. Took about an hour to reach hotel as he had 3 other groups to drop off first, all Aussies. After checking into my hotel I went for a walk around Russell Square, Great Russell St, Soho etc.    
found it easy with the help of a map.



corridor to my hotel room, reminds me of the old movies

view from my window 


my room, bare nessecities & expensive for what you get.

another view from my room

the old red phone box's, not many of these still in use in Oz but heaps in U.K

Russell Square gardens where I sat down at the cafe at 4.30 and enjoyed my 1st cold glass of wine. 

Red double decker bus

anyone want to spend a penny, didn't realise that they still had loo's where you have to put money in

just some townhouses? near Bloombury Square. 

fox running across the square, didn't realise that they had such trouble with urban foxes until I spoke to one of the "locals". I put locals in inverted  commons as only one in 15 people spoke with a british accent.
