My father is off to Scotland today for three weeks… Catching a flight to Singapore this evening, then to London and finally to Scotland. I think I mentioned this yesterday. In london he is staying in a newly opened Holiday Inn near the Victoria and Albetr museum I think he said. Knowing accomadation in London I am sure that he could have done a whole lot worse.

I know that the place I stayed in when I was there in September had squatty rooms, and old fixtures. I have certainly stayed in nicer places around the world. But I guess this was London and prices are high for hotel rooms. I would not have thought that it would have been that expensive to build some new nice clean modern hotels. Maybe my standards are just too high given what I am prepared to pay.
