arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I booked a place to stay in Moscow last week (a B&B that was 4 stops from the Eurovision venue, 2 stops from the Kremlin - lets call them Kita Inn), and now they've emailed to say they have moved me to another B&B (mind you, still close by) but are upping the accommodation rate because of EUROVISION! So people there know its on then, and it just makes it doubly hard to find somewhere to stay.

I have no choice really, I'm accepting the higher cost, otherwise I'm gonna have to stay in a hostel in a room with 9 other people for a whole week. No thanks.

In better news, I have booked hotels to stay in at London and Berlin. 25 pounds in central London is unheard of. Even hostels cost more now. EasyHotel is South Kensington has saved the day.
And the Berlin hotel? Well, my favourite hotel EVER has a earlybird fee of 22 pounds a night on right now. Prior to seeing that, I was planning on staying at one of the very good Berlin hostels on offer. Its close to central Berlin (about 10 mins walk from the main train station), it has the best bed and pillows I've ever slept on, and it has a huge hall filled with buffet breakfast every morning - seriously never seen so much food on offer, with every type of breakfast food. When I stayed there I only ate food from the breakfast - I ate 3 serves of food then made rolls with the food for later.

OlivaerApart Hotel in Berlin - highly recommended to you all.
