Update

Just a quick note.

Arrived in London after a short but pleasant flight from Jersey. Rain rain rain. Ran into Haranne and bought her a bathtub full of cappacino. Had a very merry half hour with her before catching Thameslink to Blackfriars hoofing it up the hill to my hostel and making all speed to the laundry room, where I am currently spending a friggin fortune on wifi while my clothes dry and I register a few books boosted from the swapshelf in preparation for the London meetup.

So much fun to be in London again! You couldn't shift the smile from my dial with anything short of a half-brick.

Oh yeah. The book I released at the American Cemetery on Omaha Beach was found and journalled!

oh, Pete -- your journal entry just totally choked me up! I'm thrilled too that it was found and journalled :)

And don't miss this entry: http://tzurriz.livejournal.com/268636.html

Nice catch. And I liked your journal entries, both here and on the book.

Hopefully the sun will make an appearance during your stay.

Annoying question again! What youth hostel? What do you think of it?

City of London YHA, Carters Lane in Ludgate.

I can thoroughly recommend this one. I haven't stopped smiling since walking back in the door.

Not as close to the West End and stuff as one might wish, but it's in a quiet area and the only sound at night is from St Pauls, literally a stone's throw away.

Good facilities, friendly staff, great beds.

How come CaffCaff and I didn't know you were going to the Stamford Arms?! There was nothing on the forums I'm sure - we both almost went along too....:(
