Ich brauche Bier, viel Bier
Chasing hares in #Bath ๐ฐ♨️ #ales #somerset
As always, when traveling, things get behind schedule. One would be lucky to get even half of the things initially planned done. What thought to be a 3 hour ride ended up being 5 hours, plus two hours of waiting to pick up the car. It now seems crazy to think we could have stopped by Stonehenge on the way, and reached Bath before the sundown.
A series of unexpected, first Europcar didn’t have the car ready before the appointed time, then they demand proof of address. All my statements are sent to a mailbox in Cornwall where the scans are sent to my email, so obviously none of them matches my driving license. Finally it happens that I booked with the card my mom lost last night within 24 hours I let her borrow for transportation use. After penalty for re-booking so I can pay with another card, we finally left the city airport after 2pm, after 2 hours on M25, I had a phone interview on the emergency curve thanks to the Friday traffic. But we eventually got here. Too bad the whopper we had on the way was the only proper meal of the day. If only had I known then that these people wouldn’t even bother going back out after checking in.
Every year after a family trip, I tell myself this would be the last one for awhile, but I find myself stuck with them more frequently than ever. There’s been like 4 in the last 12 months. I read from somewhere that not traveling enough with parents is amongst what people regret most for not doing in their 30s, but this the worst time to put me through this situation. It probably all started with losing the credit card, which I believe wasn’t stolen, then seeing her sleeping throughout the entire journey in the backseat. I would shoot myself if I had to put up with another person like this for rest of my life. I’d be sure to retain this feeling one day I play Kreutzer sonata. But then it was all my idea to drag them out here; they might have been content to simply be left sleeping all week long in Stratford. Anyways, let my patience help me finish what I have started, and let me hope that I’ll become more wise no to put up with the same shit throughout the year. (at Hilton Bath City)
