It was a very pleasant train ride to Salisbury. Lots of scenic countryside rolling past, and occasional stops in tiny little villages, or at least places which looked like tiny little villages from the train.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This place also uses the lockbox with key system for check-in, and had very good instructions for finding the front door, which is always nice for the trickier spots. It’s an upstairs one-bedroom place with a kitchen that I won’t get that<\/em> much use out of because I’m only here for 4 days; I am<\/strong> looking forward to being able to prepare even simple things, or use plates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Worked Thursday\/Friday, though I found that rather than using the kitchen table, I preferred sitting on the couch & working at the little coffee table. Not much else I can say about that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did some wandering around before the weekend, but the standard situation of “tourist stuff is closed after working hours” applied here, as I expected it to, so I saw the outside of scenic things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And also advertising for a play I’ll not be here for;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a ‘normal’ production of The Tempest – Prospero’s Books was a very strange movie, there was a production at Auckland University which went a quite modern with the costumes & is probably the most normal, and there was a movie which set it in the Louisiana bayou.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Saturday was my “Go See Stonehenge” day, and there’s a whole post on that, so … Go see that post?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Started poking at the Gen Con wishlist in the evening, just to get some items on the list. Spotted a few odd ones out there, so that’ll be entertaining. Or awful. Or both <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday was for Gen Con Event Registration, but also for a bit of a morning off, so I went to a cafe for breakfast & got a Croque Madame. The Gen Con stuff I’ll put in another post, but the rest of the day was some wandering around, a nice breakfast, packing up for the very early trip to London, and a late night wander down to the cathedral, mostly to take a walk after a less-than-ideal event registration experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I enjoyed Salisbury; Seems like I prefer the quieter places like Salisbury & Bournemouth, which I’m sure will make my next destination of London a bit if a hit to the senses. I’m staying in Greenwich though, so there’s still some ‘quieter’ to be found.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
