Day -1 because it was travel from home to Perth, where I stopped overnight to break what is a long journey to Orkney. The journey was pretty uneventful, but unfortunately when I arrived at the hotel it turned out that to use the WiFi for which I had paid I needed a voucher code, and they hadn’t supplied that when I booked, nor could the staff at the hotel help. So using the internet was limited to the iPhone and 3G, which was very frustrating, as well as annoying as I had already paid for wifi.
