Saturday stretched on forever all 36 hours of it and I watched in fascination out the window as we flew over the contries of Turkmenistan and Georgia which seem to be all desert . Even form 30000 feet you could see small settlements ...then we crossed the chanel and the green ness of the uK was such a relief
From Heathrow its a direct tube ride to Knightsbridge which was good because the bike bag was not ideal to carry all the luggage and there I was strugging against the tide of Saturday shoppers coming out of Harrods as the bike bag with its one set of wheels took out peoples and my shins.
The RTYC "cabin is just that... slightly bigger than on Folie but at 75 pounds per night
in the centre of a nice bit of London its brilliant.
From the outside it as got to be the ugliest building in the street. on either side are beautiful Goergian buildings housing the Kuwait Embassy
and , I suspect, a brothel , with harvey Nicholls Department Store opposite. At the "back " of the building is Hyde Park. Inside though it is pure 60's
and has a model room with books and magazines dating back to the mid 1800's. It also has a library, dining room ( sounded a bit expensive) and seemed to be deserted over the weekend.
