Chapter 109 - A Tinge of Russet

Rejoice the tourist attractions do open on Tuesdays. After having had rather too much liberty
and independence nonsense Gimli headed up to the top of the City Hall to enjoy the view
and ended up falling in with Ollie (an Australian) and after an afternoon at the Art Museum and an evening in the pub and in light of their mutual misguided belief in the beauty of ginger beards they are now best of mates.

In possession news his "My Little Unicorn" trousers have finally given up the ghost and been binned.

In hostel disaster news his hostel in Boston has closed down, he may be sleeping rough tonight. However as he has found this review of it

"This place no longer exists, however they still take bookings. On arrival you will find it closed down but a sign on the door directing you to another hostel (Beantown) a few doors down where they will have a record of your booking, but strangley enough, not of you deposit.

"Beantown hostel provides a bed for the night and nothing else, our sheets were stained with dried blood, the reception was rarely manned, and when it was the staff (other than a pleasant girl) were surly and rude. Turns out the Irish embassy and Beantown are owned by the same person, who I guess is pulling a con. Dont go!"

this may be a step up.

In schedule news he has delayed his return. He now lands on 22 May.
