Leaving for an unknown journey without any pre-cognition or information about what is going to happen. Tomorrow, Tuesday, I leave for a trip where I stay three nights in a hotel in Torquay, which is on the south coast of England. We shall travel via a hotel in Plymouth, where we will stay on Tuesday night. I previously got an impulse I should write a book or at least a long blog about the people...
