Never let a Bar manager take you for a drink. They last a lot longer and are much better at dealing with things. Jillian was a legend though and so was the Dr Chris Warner look alike who bought us drinks. Tuesday was a big day and after 6 pints and no dinner you will be surprised to hear I was a little toasted. Jillian gave me some excellent reading material. I read one page and that took most of the 45 minute train journey. I had to catch 2 tubes, a train and make the walk home. I made it although I dont remember all of it. I am glad I returned safely, although I feel that anyone who approached me would have come off worse. I wont be doing that again in a hurry but I guess experience teaches you more. Anyway Dr Warner looked worse than me when he left. On Wednesday, I travelled to Stonehenge with Nina who is a distant relative and we went to Cornwall after hiring a car. Nina is swiss and drives on the right normally and we had no idea what the speed limit was. There was a large amount of guessing due to a lack of signage (mostly open road signs but what speed is right for the english open road). Sometimes trucks overtook us and we felt safe in the knowledge that there would be no £100 fines for us. Stonhenge was pretty impressive and we had a look around there before heading to Salisbury. We slept in Exeter and then went south and saw the Eden Project, a few small towns and Penzance. It was cool and we spent today driving back to London. Dont ask me future plans because I am not too sure I need to chat to Britrail before I decide.
