The Adventure Package...

I got a message from an internet acquaintance who offered to come for a visit and dinner. It only involved a bus and a train and a transfer. It would take a couple hours to get there and the idea was to pass 27 hours, right? I decided it was an adventure and gratefully accepted the offer.
The trip was fine. The plane was freezing so I was grateful to ride on a bus and a train that were not ice cold. I arrived at the destination station and there they were. I wasn't real sure what I had gotten into but the result was delightful. These folks have animals. I like animals. What kind of animals? A dog, a cat, chickens, rabbits and at least one frog. The frog isn't doing too well now though. Blackie the chicken doesn't like frogs.
We chatted and they took me out to see the shore and later we went back to the train station. I got the train to where I needed to make the transfer and the train was gone!

The next train would be in the morning which wasn't a great piece of news so we sought out options. The best choice was to take a train into London and then another back to Gatwick. I finally arrive at the B&B near midnight. It's an adventure, right?
