Day 0 – Begin Act 1 – Sal de Blighty!!

Good evening all. Hope you all are doing well. This is today’s first official blog post for the great adventure to Patagonia.

To begin the adventure we have the mundane matter of getting out of Wales……or not. Because of the works on the Rhymney line I had to scab a lift into town with the family. What should be a 25 min ride took nearly an hour and a half with all the traffic! AN HOUR AND A HALF!! By about 1200 I finally got into Cardiff and headed for the Queen’s Vaults for a well earned pint and slotty Action.. unfortunately no big wins!

Trains from there were at least smooth sailing and the rest of the Journey down was relatively uneventful save for a bunch of what I presume were Italian teenagers jumping on the train at Exeter down to #Plymouth . Must be part of some kind of trip. I don’t speak Italian unfortunately!

As for me I have made it to Port and am freshening up to head to the Barbican for a few ales in Plymouth’s best old school Boozer, the Dolphin.

I will leave it there for today. Tomorrow we set sail for Spain! Stay tuned!
