Chill out day

Weds 18-2-04
This was a chill out day… (very important part of travelling chilling out/vegging/doing cock all!!) I checked out of the hotel and then had breakfast, before using a rickshaw to get to the station.

I dumped my bag, and spent half an hour trying to find out my seat number for that evenings train. I checked the internet, and I had quite a few emails.

Steve denton was in Christchurch, new Zealand at the time, and had just bumped into ‘The Wizard' (a well known eccentric) again.

Bought some bananas for lunch, and headed back to the station. The train was delayed by five hours, and for most of the time i was absolutely dying for a dump, but didn't want to use the facilities on offer. The wait was only made a little more bearable by the appearance of an Indian transvestite.
