Inconvenience Turns to Good

Last week when I went into London to review the Science Tea at the Ampersand Hotel, I arrived a few hours early to take advantage of being in the city.

The day didn't start out quite as planned.  I bought my train ticket online thinking it would also allow me to ride the underground!  Unfortunately, it didn't.  The line for a tube pass at Victoria station was insane and I did not want to waste my precious time.

Before leaving home I had mapped out how far Kensington station was from Victoria station, where my train came in.  Only 2 tube stops away or over a 2 mile walk.  I had the time and wanted to see some sites anyway.  I picked up a London map and set out to walk towards my destination, Hyde Park and Kensington Garden just happened to be in the same general direction.  Sometimes a mistake can turn into something good.

Hopefully I can take the walk again on a clearer day and use the better camera instead of my phone.

Have you had an inconvenience while traveling turn into a good day?

I have not traveled to South America, but would love to one day.  A remote little place like this seems prefect to take some time to get away from it all.
