After an unexplainable accident Annabelle finds herself hundred years in the past. In the boom of the 1920s, the era of Jazz and bootleggers. But it's not just the 20s she now has to deal with, she also happens to find herself stumble right into the...
We spend the rest of the day with eating and just talking before going to bed early, so we could have a good night's rest. After all today was the day of the gala.
I wished there was something like room service here, but that shouldn't be invented for another ten years. So Maddie and I bought some bread and a bit of fruit from a little stall near Covent Garden. I would have loved to stroll through covent garden but the market as I know it, doesn't even exist yet.
"Do you think I'll be able to get some coffee around here?"

"Sure, just go down to the kitchen."
What? I surely couldn't just go into the kitchen of a hotel.. isn't that just for staff's? Was it different a 100 years back and you could just burst in there like you own the place?
"But isn't the hotel's kitchen only for people who work here?"

"Good morning, Miss Belle. How are you doing?"
"Good morning to you too, Gilbert. I am quite in the need for some caffein but otherwise splendid. How about you, did you sleep well?"
