LOST!
Have you ever been lost?
Have you ever been lost? I hadn’t — I’ve always had an excellent sense of direction even when in an unfamiliar place — that is until I had general anaesthesia 6 weeks before I launched myself on a 4 and a half month trip around Europe. Something inexplicable happened to my brain. I had a week off work and when I returned to work, I took a wrong turn to almost every school I had been to every year for the previous 5 years. When I made a mistake, the weird thing was always a 180-degree mistake so I would end up heading in the completely opposite direction to where I needed to go.
It’ll by ok by the time I leave for Ireland I thought. But it wasn’t! And I was the appointed navigator for the whole group because of my superb navigational skills. I very soon lost my esteemed position.
Lost in Dingle
We had been to a music concert. Keeley, Dale and Rhys had already left. I thought about catching a cab back to our B&B but walked briskly through the town. It had stopped raining but had become very cold so I walked fast. I thought I knew the way home but took a slight deviation and ended up at a dead-end at the wrong place, so I had to retrace my steps.
