On the Road Again (intermission #3)

Strange being at the hostel. My room of 6 bunks seems to be one where people are only staying 1 night and therefore there are not a lot of conversations happening. The hostel is fairly full but the level of energy is down from other years.

I think it is because of the number of people using their own computers. Really hard to talk to someone when they are plugged into their machines.

There are three young ladies in my room,Two have huge wheeled suitcases. One of them is a very small person and I suspect that she could quite easily fit into her bag. Another young lady is from Switzerland - she is hanging around for a few days and we have had a few brief conversations, nothing substantial but is is nice to have someone to say good morning to.

Great weather - hot and sunny. Had to buy a straw hat as my dark brown drizabone travelling hat is a bit too hot to wear in the sun. It is a good hat, seems to have brought me luck on the road but it is not really useful in the city.

Had a great supper and walk about the town yesterday with a dear friend and I am having drinks this afternoon with an other. Glad I cam down.
