Yesterday, I bid Emily goodbye and  caught the train from Caphan Junction to Barnstaple, with a train stop at Exeter. As it turned out, Randy’s train from Heathrow, was also going to change at Exeter.,and we would join the Barnstaple train together. However, when I boarded the Barnstaple train, Randy’s train had not arrived and was running late. Apparently someone had jumped in front of the train, which delayed it. Sad, because apparently it’s not uncommon. Randy caught a later train and we then walked the 10 kilometres to our accommodation in Instow. The walk was easy and pleasant along a bitumen path meandering through wooded landscape with the river Taw on our right. Although the breeze was quite cool, I was quite comfortable in a singlet. Arriving at around 5.30 pm, we relaxed in the hotel room with a nice cup of tea before heading down stairs for dinner.
