I'm in LONDON!

The title says it. I endured a 10-hour, overnight flight on British Airways and arrived at 8:10 in the morning on Monday fortified by 45 minutes sleep. I found the Gatwick Express train to Victoria Station and booked a room in a dive of a hotel that is just a block from Hyde Park. Now seriously, can ANY hotel be that bad if you're in the center of London. On my Underground trip over, I passed Notting Hill Station--Hugh Grant was not available. I caught a quick two-hour nap, and now I need an early dinner and I'm off to explore. Can't wait! Can't write any more! Two days--so much to see before my flight to Biarritz!
