a thank you

for the first time, i got a very nice thank you from two german girls i helped. they needed info about getting to stansted airport in the early hours, and up until a little while ago, one of the only ways (after 11pm) was to catch the national express coach.

but they already had tickets for the stansted express, not cheap either, but the last/first train times were no good. then i remembered the express now has a coach starting at 2:30am till 4:30am, only takes 45 minutes, and their tickets are valid on it.

anyway - after finding connecting buses from kings cross to liverpool st, and printing all the info, they said danke and walked off...

then one of them came back for change, which for once i had, and after taking the 50p coin gave me a pack of cookies, smiled, said thanks again, and walked off. and it made my day! it really did, i mean, i like to help people when they want to be helped/are at least somewhat poliet to me, but rarely do backpackers appreciate the help. which is why i appreciated it so much.

so, to the two german girls who made my day with a pack of cookies - thank you! i won't soon forget it!
