3) every1 woke up early to catch the 8 or 9 plus coach to Bath via Bristol
4) Mabel packed too much and was amused by the amount of stuff the others had packed, especially Vid's
5) Mr. Coach Driver forgot to pick us up; 30 mins extra of waiting time?
6) so stuffy in the coach; Mabel & Vidya felt so sick; again, Deqi solved the problem

9) dinner @ some usual not that nice Chinese buffet; again, Dhar din eat n felt sick

18) next stop: square outside the Abbey & Roman Bath; 'bench'-time
19) asked by some stranger: u all staying up here the whole night? eh.............
20) found a early-opened McDonalds; 'ok, v r moving there'
21) conquered the whole place; in some way, v were being chased away for disturbing other customers; really?
