A while ago now, Tom and I missed our ferry from Newcastle to Bergen. It was very unfortunate and hardly our fault at all. More recently we missed our ferry from Shanghai to Osaka and would you know that it wasn’t our fault again? Strange how something like that can happen twice to two fellers like us. Our ferry was due to leave at 1 O’clock pm on Saturday (27th). Friday (26th) was Jacob’s birthday, his 21st no less. To cut a bad story short we were conned into becoming uncomfortably inebriated, slept through all our well-planned alarms and left the hostel a little late, cycled on no-cycling roads, then cycled the wrong way down one way roads and arrived at the terminal 25 minutes early. But! Due to a hilarious misunderstanding we weren’t allowed to board because the guy was a jobsworth and we should have been there 5 minutes earlier. So we’re going tomorrow instead.

We have spent our extra time well though. For example, today we went to a driving range and hit hundreds of balls at the guy in the ball-collecting buggy and then played table football until I hurt my wrist. Yesterday wasn’t so hectic.

It’s great to see some more donations coming in. I didn’t mean for people who have already donated to do so again (mum) but thanks anyway. If anyone has any good ideas for how we could raise money, like busking with me on vocals and Tom on bongos, then let us know them. Don’t suggest that one though.
