Nearly home

Today, the time changes - now "fall back" to daylight saving time. It is raining (alas, just as the forecaster said it would). Ben, the man who minds this hostel, very kindly organized a ride for me to the train station in St. Austell with Andy who does the brunt of the cleaning. Last worry gone. The hostel experience has been most satisfactory. If I were travelling alone again, I don't think I would hesitate to consider the hostel route first.

Hey ho. Vacation nearly done. I've now been on the train since 1:45 pm. It is nearly 4:00 pm. We are in Exeter St Davids, having passed through much excellent Cornish and Devonshirean landscape. Apple trees bursting with fruit, Dexter cows placidly grazing their way through the fields. Sheep, ducks, geese, hens, rivers, lakes, and other assorted fine landscape features.

On my way to London, where I will close out all the loose ends of this most excellent vacation.

Over and out.
