The next day E and A took me out to breakfast at a nearby cafe (mm, crepes) and then we took the train to Fulham Broadway where I was collecting a hire car. I was due to collect the car at 12pm and arrived at 11:40. Unfortunately, when I got there Europcar had given the car away, and was waiting for another one to arrive from the airport outlet. Due to the volcano in Iceland a lot of people were stranded, and the demand for hire cars had soared. I wasn't very impressed, because I had booked the car a couple of weeks before, and arrived on time, but there wasn't much I could do about it. In the end it took another 2 hours before a car arrived for me.
Once I got the car I drove E and A back to their place, picked up my luggage, and headed off to Coventry, where I was staying with my friend K. It was a 3 hour drive in the end, by the time I got through London traffic, and allowing for stops I didn't reach K's place until just before dinner time.
I received a very warm welcome from K and her partner D, and after an excellent dinner, got an early night.
