The Excellent Grand Tour of Europe, August 1990
Rang Barry, picked him up in Peter’s van and drove to the Cotswolds. Slept in Sandra’s house in her lounge. Left after breakfast, which was too late as it took ages to drive west through Wales to Fishguard. Arrived two hours late for the ferry, so plan to catch the 0315. Went round crappy Fishguard for a while and are now sitting down a lane having some tea. Peter is dropping us off at 2300 at the port, so will get some sleep there before leaving for Ireland.

Sitting at Fishguard ferry terminal. Have around 3 hours to waste before we depart. Might go to sleep for a while but the room has just been invaded by loads of loud Americans. I think Barry might have overpacked but that’s his problem – I did warn him before Peter dropped us off. Watched Back to the Future Part III to pass the time this eve.

I remember this – there was a unicycle at Sandra’s house?? Who was Sandra?? Me, Peter and Steve went on a little tour of South Wales after dropping you off.
Yes, a unicycle :) We all tried and failed. I remember not sleeping so well in that big, strange lounge. Can’t remember who Sandra is… Steve Naive’s friend?
