Where in the world was I?






Judging from these photos, my guess would be either Cuba or Spain. I walked through the front door of the hotel to a wonderful old world Latin flavour. A mix of Havana and Andalusia were upon me. Every corner of the hotel was well thought out and planned fitting in with the theme. The hotel included an "honesty bar" which allowed patrons to help themselves to a variety of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages, with a little sheet and slate pencil to record your takings. Of course, I was in neither Cuba or Spain, but instead London. The only give away was breakfast (home made smoothies - the best I have ever tasted, croissants, organic oatmeal and yogurt) and of course the view of the London Eye from the window.
While this was mainly a business trip, I did enjoy a 2.5 hour boat ride down the Thames, lunch with friends at some of the best restaurants London has to offer as well as WAGAMAMA and enjoyed yet more celebrity sightings! And of course being asked out by 4 different men in 4 days was quite the experience too! I did say no to all 4 for a few different reasons!
Off on hols tomorrow, will reveal where once I'm back. Too paranoid of psycho to post in advance.
A reminder for all those in the UK, the Guardian has a guide to growing your own vegetables in the Saturday paper today with part 2 in the Observer tomorrow.
