Done!

I am very happy to report that all of our accommodation is now set in place - booked.

I have a slight feeling that maybe....just maybe, not all choices were the best, but its been a bit of a nightmare.


First you try and use the best search engines and booking sites....then you have to narrow your choice because what they are showing you is too bloody expensive - then you find you really dont have much to choose from within your budget range anyway.
200 hotels comes down to about 4!
Then its time to try Trip Advisor - and you realise that the only places you can afford are  dumps on the edge of a town that is 20kms from where you want to be with no parking, no breakfast and, in many instances, a bad case of mold on the ceiling.



Right now staying in a place that is haunted may not be the biggest thing to be frightened of! 

It might be the argument on arrival when you find out that your twin reservation is now a double in a room where you cannot even open the door because the bed is in the way and the only toilet/shower is shared amongst 15 rooms and down a dark, smelly corridor and the place is booked out with a local hen's party.

I guess what is now left is to trust that I have made the right choices and that all will be good - I might take my blue light anyway just to check the sheets before we lay our heads to rest at night.. mmmm....maybe not?

Sometimes ignorance is bliss!
