Getting down & muddy @ Southdown Farm, Keyser
Filed under: wwwTrek
We got a little lost finding Southdown Farm, where we were setting up the 3man tent for the night. We decided that as it was just one night there, it wasn’t worth setting up the big tent. While driving around we got to have a look at the cute little village of Keyser, and found a supermarket. I didn’t have a pillow, so had visions of returning after we set up the tent to buy one. We also didn’t have any food at this point, so we made note of where it was to return to stock up on a few supplies.
So much for summer, another wet day ahead. Chosing clothes to wear has become a bit of a nightmare, as one of the reasons I chose to come in the summer was less weight in clothes. As you’ve already noticed, I had enough problems packing as it was, without the extra burden of winter clothes. Trouble was, that like Canada everything was internally heated, so that while inside you broiled & then outside you were soaked. Lucky for me Paul had an extra anarak, unlucky for me was having to put it on & take it off on numerous ocassions. Eventually I tired of this exercise & elected to just get wet.
Today’s trip into London was via the “Tube” (otherwise known as the “Underground”). If you have ever been on a rollercoaster, you will find this similar. It’s a tad archaic in appearance, looking quite possibly like it hadn’t changed over the years it had been in existance. It rocked back & forwards & swung around corners making one feel like they were on an amusement ride.
I must say that Emirates is all they say & more. By far it is the most luxurious & well services airline with a compliment of pleasant staff members. The food was excellent & there was plenty of it.
It’s final repack time, or at least I thought! Out half of it comes again to fit everything that I missed the first time round. Clothes you would think? I wish! Clothes are in very short supply & black seems to be the theme of the journey as it will show the least dirt & I will be able to have more than one dance per outfit. Why you say? There just wasn’t room for clothes!
