adrienne's Tour Diary

We stayed in Bristol at Gareth's after the show at Moles, W in the living room with the horses and G, Dan and I upstairs. Around 11 we woke up and went to 'Tasty Stop' for a £4 English Breakfast. Where I sat I could see giant goldfish and an angelfish swimming in a big aquarium. It was too much food for any of us to finish, and afterwards we swore we'd never eat again.

The drive to Wales didn't take long, and we found a car park in Cardiff near an amusement ride that was set up right in the high street between buildings. The ride held 4 people on of two arms of a giant rotating piece of steel. The people were turned upside down and flew backwards and forwards. W wanted to go on the ride but he was alone in that desire.

No luck finding a power converter in Cardiff, though some employees of Marks & Spencer suggested going to Currys on Newport Road and a young man working one of those island stores in the mall told us to do a makeshift conversion with a ballpoint pen in the third prong of the UK outlet. I don't think so.

It took about 2 hours to find our hotel, even though it's only 6 miles from Cardiff. A series of roundabouts led us astray and we checked in at 8, ordered room service, and downed wine G had purchased two hours earlier at Marks & Spencer.
