This is a picture of my breakfast.
A couple of slices of chocolate cake.
We wandered through several bookshops and ended up at the Hay Castle bookshop, owned by King Richard. I know my wife will be very jealous that I was there and Simon suggested that she would start rearranging them by the Dewey Decimal system.
The first book I picked up was printed in 1783 but was French so I didn't have a clue what it was about. And if you want to know about the 'dissection of the dog' I know where the relevant tomb is.
Our taxi arrived at 2pm to take us to Pandy. The taxi driver, from Book Town Taxi appropriately enough, was very entertaining and took us over the hills Russ was walking so we could appreciate the staggering beauty of the country side. He weaved in and out of the bends narrowly missing the sheep and comoflaged SAS soldiers.
We arrived at the Rising Sun in Pandy and went into the pub to find out where we could setup our tents. Within a couple of minutes Russ arrived, he's getting quicker every day.
That's it from us, just two more sleeps before the end of this epic adventure. Tibet and the Himalayas next year.
Richard and Simon.

Jesus, the bookshop must be huge to hold a tomb!!
ReplyDeleteWhy chocolate cake for breakfast? Still at least it wasn't a meringue!
Are you sure you're not high from all the travel sickness tablets? Book Town Taxi's sounds like something from CBeebies!

What can I say? Hay is one of my most favouritist places I'd also linger if I could.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you found a taxi driver who let you appreciate the beauty of the surrounding countryside and thanks for lending Russ your camera so he could take some pics from the the top of the ridge to share with everyone when he gets home.
I think your wives might have something to say before they let you two off on a walking tour of Lutterworth next time let alone Tibet!!
Glad to see your humour hasn't disappeared Richard - two more sleeps and you'll all be home in nice soft beds. :-) xxx
