| Jeff's World Tour - England May 2007 |
|---|
| After my 29 cent European tour it was off to England. There I met up with our VP of Business Development and VP of Engineering. Still nice guys, even with 'VP' in their titles........ I totally did not pick this hotel for the first two nights....... |

It's called Grim's Dyke and it was the home of WS Gilbert of Gilbert and Sullivan fame. So there's a whole lot of theme. My room was apparently all about The Mikado.

| My room was in the lodge rather than the main building. | Not so keen on the location if the weather was bad because of the walk up to the restaurant. | But, we had great weather for most of the trip. |
Nice place and really, considering it's proximity to London (Old Redding, Harrow), not that expensive. When I go back on my own dime it's still a place I'd consider staying if we were going to spend a couple days looking around London.

| Our evening gathering place. Mind you, when chicky-poo told me the first night that a pint was 4 pounds 50 I was ready to move along..... | The main entrance |

| This is in the restaurant, obviously, not one of the guest rooms..... |

| A sitting room in the main hotel building. As I recall, this is where the internet lived..... | Of course, I'm a very good driver... Our little Vauxhall Zafira. I was concerned when I got it because it looks like a little bus but it handled great | Once you got past the wicked, twitchy brake pedal and remembered to stay left instead of right... |
