Tomorrow is indeed the last day of my PCT adventure, I'm sure in the days to come I will have bet...

I also had some bizarre dreams of playing football with Marlowe Theatre team in some kind of castle as a part of a staff party then going to the post office but really visiting my friends but when I rang their doorbell the door has been opened by Queen Elizabeth in her full royal outfit saying that my friends are living behind her house...
