Victoria said
\nThat carrying too much clobber
\nit really is the worst thing
\nI could do
\nTo only carry
\nwhat was really needed
\nand leave behind the rest
\nshe said will you
\n2 shirts, 2 under pants 2 pairs of trousers
\n2 pairs of socks
\nand that is all you need
\na toothbrush,toothpaste
\nand of course a hairbrush
\nwear and wash and you will best
\nsucceed<\/p>\n
Everything went well
\nTill it started raining
\nmy pants and trousers
\nwouldn’t dry overnight
\nwhere there was an ironing board
\nI tried to help the process
\nBut sometimes failed
\nwhich didn’t turn out right
\nSo wandering about the town
\nwith my wet under pants
\nsometimes got uncomfortable
\nyou know
\nand sometimes I left wet rings on the furniture
\nwhere I’d sat
\nThat tended to embarrass
\nIf it started to show<\/p>\n
But she was right
\nthere’s no doubt if you carry
\ntoo much in your haversack its a pain
\nSo I am so indebted to her actually
\nand I’ve worked out ways to wring clothes out
\nand gain
\na more effective reduction of water
\nFor you see my hands are very weak
\nthese days
\nroll the wet clothes in a towel
\nand sit on them
\nwhich
\nhelps to squeeze out moisture
\nand that pays
\nTravelling on one’s own is a learning
\nprocess
\nThe experience one gets
\nis a priceless gift
\nI hope you didn’t mind me sharing
\nthis with you
\nBecause the knowledge does give me a lift<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Victoria actually repacked my bag for me and in essence saved me a lot of unnecessary carrying. Continue reading
