I Accidentally Booked a Bed in a Pod Hotel


    On this extended vacation or adventure as I like to call it, I sometimes need to book hotels or Airbnb’s when I am in between pets sitting gigs. I usually try to find a room as cheap as I can get it and It's usually only for a day or two. My pet sitting gig in New Barnet ended on Saturday March 15th and the next one started the following day on March 16th. On that Saturday morning, I went to Booking.com and found a place called Komo Hackney in the London Borough of Hackney. It was £41. The description read “At the hotel, each room has a wardrobe. The rooms have a kettle, while selected rooms also boast a kitchenette with a fridge. All rooms will provide guests with a microwave.” Sold and what’s more it’s only a 30 minute tube ride to my next gig. I didn’t look at the photos that were of the hotel space.. Approximately 10 hours later I was at the doors of Komo Hackney. That’s when I realized this was not a hotel of rooms but of pods. What the hell!?

Down to London

Newcastle upon Tyne
    I’m currently on a train headed down to London. We just left Newcastle and we passed the city of Durham. From the train window, I got to see Durham Cathedral. It is spectacular. When I was visiting Brougham Castle in the Penrith area, a few weeks back, I got to talking to a retired history teacher. He told me places I should visit in England and Durham, for its cathedral, amongst other things, was on the top of his list for places to go. It will have to be another time though as I’m onto the next phase of my journey.
