This hotel has not changed since we stayed here with Matthew and Patrick over 10 years ago.
This morning we both felt a little better after our long haul yesterday.
Pam continues to be under the weather and my gout hurts a lot.

Went to the hotel restaurant next door for breakfast. Full of waiters trying to perfect their French accents but ending up
sounding like Inspector Cloustoue. Good food though.

It is bitterly cold here today, about 6 degrees c but add in the wind chill and it is below zero. Felt snow on my face today.
Pam and I have decided to use the underground and buses. Both cheap with a 7 day pass costing £10

Went to redo the Heritage trail, did it before with Matthew and Patrick but this time we did it with a period dressed guide.

He was fantastic and gave such an insight into the past for us.

Had Coffee in Borders Book store, wonder if the guys remember the place.

I also wonder if they remember the old Irish porter who worked at this hotel and was so nice to them. He is still here.

Pam is now deciding what we will do tomorrow. At least tomorrow it will be much warmer. Dinner awaits soon.
