Day 110 - Birmingham, Llanelli

You might be wondering why I went all the way up to Birmingham on the way to South Wales. A few reasons: 1) I love Birmingham, 2) I know of a great & convenient place there to stop for lunch, 3) more time on the train so I could get more work done and, 4) Virgin Trains (the ones that go through B'ham) are the only ones with power outlets, and 5) I still had some doubt as to whether or not I'd actually been to Worcestershire. Now there's no doubt that I've been to 38 counties.

I met my friends in Llanelli at 6:30. They had to drive me from there (it's about an hour from Llanelli to Porthyrhyd, near Llandovery, where they live) because the rail line between Llanelli and Llandovery was washed away during recent heavy rains.

It was very nice to see them again. We had a great dinner and went to bed early. It was SO much easier to sleep in 'my' room at the farm than at Windsor Hall. So much quieter and more comfortable. It was the first time in a long time that I was able to sleep for 8 hours.
