Adventure #234

I left London today and not with out drama.( it wouldn't be like me to do it in a calm orderly fashion.) Here is how the story goes:Last night a whole bunch of us went to this huge Halloween party and didn't come home until about 4 in the morning - whoever told me England doesn't do Halloween is a big fat liar- it was a great night; loads of fun! Any who, i was meant to awake at around 1o this morning so that Talulah and i could go to this little art gallery before i had to head to the coach station to make my way over to Manchester... we woke up at 11:45. Why is this a problem? My coach bus was leaving at 1:30, we had to leave at 12:45 to get there on time and i still had not finished packing. So, I quickly showered, packed and by the grace of God left the flat at 12:45 on the dot.Everything was going quite smoothly until we got on the tube and an announcement came on saying something along the lines of "this tube is terminating at the next stop, all passengers must exit the train at the next station." Why is this a problem? The station we had to get off at did not have a tube going to our stop resulting in us having to transfer three times in order to get to our destination... i arrived at the bus gate at 1:33- no joke!I calmly walked to the ticket booth and purchased a ticket for the next bus, leaving at approximately 5pm. AWESOME! Finally, after hours of waiting and then hours of sitting on a stuffy bus i arrived at the bus station!HURRAH! Was my aunt there to pick me up? No, of course not. How was she supposed to know that this bus line had switched terminals!!?? I hopped in a cab and payed another 7 pounds to get to where i originally was supposed to be. FABULOUS!Now, as dramatic as all of this was, it ended up being quite good. I enjoy the extra bit of chaos whilst travelling. It adds to the whole experience really.Now i am all safe and sound in my aunty's adorable house on a hillside drinking tea and eating chocolate biscuits - how posh!
