Chocolate bars and Keith Richards!!!!

Tuesday, July 6, 2010

Wexford was another hole. It was a super small coastal town with one hostel...so I guess once we did ask for directions they had only one place to send us. It was kind of nice though, we had a room to ourselves so we could spread out our stuff and just chill out. We had an early morning ferry over to Pembroke in England...and it was just that...BROKE! It was really small and the train station was even worse. It had no ticket machine or attendant and we had no idea where we were to go...other than get the heck out of there. We found the train station and called the info line and got the directions we needed. It was much further than we had anticipated...there was a small little restaurant though that we sat down at for lunch/dinner. It was a massive but delicious meal. Heather had chicken tikka and I had the lasagne. Mmm...anyhow, we got on our way to Bath shortly after 3. It was another long day of travel especially since the train we were on to get to Cardiff, was late and caused us to miss our connection. Oh well. We had chocolate bars at the station for dinner and had we have made our connection we wouldn’t have seen Keith Richards circa 1980. I swear it was him...he was a spitting image of him...well in his younger days. I even made Heather walk over his way and get a really good look at him so I could show her photos later. Hehe. Anyhow, we got into Bath around 930, made our way to our hostel and just had another chill night in. Bath is known for it’s roman baths and we will have some time to adventure tomorrow morning. Heather had a credit card scare today also but her Mom had activated her new one and once we found this out, she was good to go. In the process, she got to have a short Skype date with her parents and they were happy to see her alive and well. And just to clarify, my foot is A o.k!!! It is like 99% healed. Mostly pain free and only has a small bruise left. Hooray!! Tragedy avoided!
