Appears I'm a Misanthrope. Who knew? Oh yeah, everyone.

One route up and the same down - everything else is a footpath and will likely be very busy currently. In truth, it's a much nicer walk than a ride.

No, don't worry I've not seen or spoken to anyone since Thursday and with any luck, won't until Tuesday. 👍

Why are there companies selling luggage at the airport? WTF arrives carrying armfuls of clothes having previously thought, 'fuck it, we'll pack when we get there'?
