Hotels within walking distance of Westminster Abbey have unabashedly raised their normal rates to unprecedented levels. The Royal Horseguards Hotel in Whitehall Place charges up to £650 ($1,008) per night for a double room for the end of April 2011, yet £263 ($408) for a typical Friday before Christmas. On a normal night, the Ritz on Piccadilly charges £300 ($465) for a superior king room, but a hefty £575 ($891) for that same accommodation April 29. r u kidding, lol?! that was the very first thing i did, within 30 mins of the official announcement of the wedding date !!! don't even want to guess how much it would cost now for wedding week in london...

Buy your self a strong converter for boosting 110AC to 220DC and you should be able to take a waffle iron back with you. Remember though, its technically a Brussels waffle you are having. Belgian waffles vary from area to area and each has its own style. Plus the American "Belgian" waffle is just round a has deeper holes in it than the standard waffle. There are 3 types, so read here about them. ID: 69592 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote
