Today i learned that buses are not my friend. It too 4 hrs to get to Rhyll (Wales) where I should have taken the train back to Liverpool - but no - I thought - its 6:30 I will use my day pass and go back by bus.
I made it to Holywell where the bus driver told me that was his last stop and I needed not the 11 but the 11A which would be along in an hour. this was at 7:30 pm.
So I wandered around looking at the town - clean and pretty with flowers and stuff.
Bought a kebab and sat in the empty main street and ate it - not the best I ever had but huge...
went for the bus at 8:30 but no sign and still no sign at 9:15 and it was the last bus that night - no train station - finally went into a store to ask them to call a cab for me to go to Flint, the nearest town with a train station - just then as fate would have it a woman in the store offered to take me to Flint - wonderful - train arrived in 5 minutes and changed once for Liverpool. Arrived by Pier Head and got a taxi in minutes - arrived at D and Rs and knocking back a nice brandy within 5 minutes.
Guess the moral of the story is that thre are kind people in the world and never take a bus in GB ever again. Since they privatised its got no dependability.
Ah well off to Krakow tomorrow unless this flight is cancelled too - I'll bend like the tree in the wind - after all I am on vacation aren't I? Funny thing is I didn't hear once welsh accent or anyone speaking welsh the whole day quelle horreur!
