The Mother of all Bookings....
We setoff to Trailfinders shortly after leaving Chepstow, via the bank. This was an important stop off, as we were able to acquire one of the few bank statements ive actually enjoyed looking at, Sweet. With an abundance of excitement, passion & at times bewilderment, we arrived at Trailfinders in Piccadilly London at around 2pm. A Trailfinders representative, Robin, greeted us - little did he know what was about to ensue.
We laid out what we wanted to do, discussed the places we wanted to visit, and then started on the mother of all bookings. We had a well laid out plan, we started to execute it.
Over the next two days we would spend nearly 10 hours in our new home, Trailfinders, Piccadilly. We arrived in daylight, went home in the dark. Drank a stupid amount of coffee & kept robin from leaving on time over & over again. To be fair he was very good about the whole process, although he did have to take a couple of days off once we’d finished!
We must thank Robin for sorting it all out – Top man.
We tried to stick to our plan, 3* all the way around. We Failed! Bigstyle!, i would suggest lynsey more than me, but i must admit i was easily swayed at times.
The first real stumbling block was the Chinese Visa’s. We obviously picked the couple of days when the Chinese embassy shuts down, due to Chinese national holidays. Not really our problem, but none the less an issue, as this was Wednesday and we are due to fly out Monday morning! We were assured something will be sorted to get our passports & visa’s sorted on time & back to us.
In the end our saviour was Ted! =) Thanks fella! much appreciated.
Ted was enlisted with the task of Queuing up at the embassy (at god knows what time) to collect our passports & visa’s, and then bring them up, on the train to Manchester Piccadilly. Ive never met someone so happy, after a packed 3 hr train journey.
Obviously we were well happy, the expedition was back on track....
