Travel day

Should have been uneventful, should being the operative word.

Taxi from hotel in Stratford-upon-Avon to train station.
Train to London.

Holly had arranged for transport from train to hotel in London but she had the transfer time wrong; 2:21 instead of 1:30 so we hung around the station expecting our ride to show up around 2:15. Well 2:15 came and went and 2:30 and 2:45 and no ride. Carol went to ask if we could call and confirm driver had been dispatched – Oops Holly also had the date wrong, 29 Jun, not 27 Jun. Took a taxi to hotel. Gave the drive a 5 pound note for tip; gave it back to me; too much he said, round up and add a pound or two; 5 too much.

Registered! Have the same room as we will have for tour. Won’t need to re-register as we did in Dublin. Wifi access is 15 pound/day. Why is it that the common hotels offer free wifi but the posh ones charge usurious fees? I wouldn’t have gotten wifi but I needed to write Holly and have her cancel the driver and get a refund.
