UGGGHHH I hate train travel. Yesterday, I got the train to and from Portsmouth, for work. I had an absolute nightmare with the trains on the way home - the final leg of my journey home which should have been a 25 minute journey ended up taking 3 hours!!
I found some people at a station near to home, and we decided to get a taxi. One guy called a taxi. A crazy drunken man came up to him and took his phone off him saying he owned a taxi company and would ring them; we thought he wanted to steal the phone, but he was just well-meaning & drunk. Then, the guy whose phone was nearly stolen said his mate was driving past in a few minutes, and would pick us up and take us back in his Land Rover. The group of us got into the back of the Land Rover, and I hitched a lift home! I've never done that before. I got back at 9pm - such an exhausting day, and I was so glad to be home. Quite an adventure!
There were a few perks to the day. It was lovely and sunny, the hottest day of the year. Also, the place I went to treated me really well, and put on a lovely buffet lunch for me.
Eeekk... I'm glad you eventually made it home safely! I've had to accept a ride from a stranger once before... it was frightening but also wildly exhilarating. haha
ReplyDeleteYes, I found it was strangely exhilating too! It made it even more exiting being a Land Rover.
