The day started earlier than intended, that dreaded hotel sleep interruption: The fire alarm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A loud siren. Silence. A loud siren again. Another pause, before it kicked in a third time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This time when it went silent it stayed off. I checked the time, just past 7am, too early to get dressed and start the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An hour of gentle snoozing later I got up properly, packed my bags, used the wifi one last time. I found a cafe, not in the city centre, nestled amongst student housing the other side of the station. So my bag and I took a walk up there and found it. Closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was another cafe next door, advertising a full English. Their menu was a brutal lie, Halal beef and chicken sausages, no bacon. I didn’t even go in, walked back towards the station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A shawarma cafe was open, its window offering shawarma, shawarma with salad, shawarma with chips. A plate of falafel. That would work, a veggie but tasty breakfast. I walked in, asked if I could sit at one of their tables for breakfast, was welcomed but also warned. They could do shawarma for breakfast but nothing else. Not even falafel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I moved on, ended up in the station earlier than planned, had to wait for the train.<\/p>\n\"\"<\/a>\n\n\n\n

The rest of the day was sat on the train, various people sitting opposite me between different stops, a man across the aisle using his laptop. A woman got on, sat opposite him and he started chatting her up. They kept it going for two hours until I got off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bus to my village stops outside the station. I got on, read my book. Got off. I’m home. Legs are sore, shoulders surprisingly sore, but it was a good trip. Got me out, let me see somewhere new, cost less than a concert ticket. The train was pennies over \u00a320 for the return, making me consider another trip next week. I’ll recover from this one first, see how I feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Distanced walked today just 3km. It’s enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
