Warmshowers Paul

-

 Paul arrived at 0130 on Saturday morning . I came home from a meeting at 0930 with a voicemail saying that he was in Staines and his bike and panniers had not arrived . 



We look at maps and planned a route to Cornwall. His preferred route is along the Thames to Reading .then down to Exeter . However didn’t mind taking trains for part of the journey. 






His bike arrived on Sunday around 1330 . Fairly intact really . And probably given me some confidence in taking a bike abroad . 




He worked as a driver for https://kiwijourneys.co.nz/ and after our chat I now think that end November is best time to visit Nz 

We finished with an Indian in Molesey .

A good stay . 


A bit more about Paul , He lives on a bus in Nelson NZ and does his stretching and mediation in the morning .Vegetarian . It was quite easy to make food , poached eggs on toast , porridge, veg curry , tuna pastas in home made sauce .

Seems I missed one bus but another 461 at 0837. Flew into Kingston and was on Sl7 at 0912.  Chatted with lady who was the sign designer at the airports . Prefer the ones at Palma airport to Heathrow   Im sitting    at London Heathrow airport noticing the signage .  I’m wondering if there should be an international standard for arrivals and departures signs ?  Then again I do like the slight differences between countries.  In Spain the departures has half line to the left showing leaving the ground and the arrivals sign has half line to the right showing an approach to the ground.  In Heathrow the ground line is a continuous line .  Both arrivals signs have wheels shown on the arrivals plane .  However the Heathrow arrivals sign is a horizontal plane and the Spanish arr...
