Canterbury, Maidstone and Pembury Visits

[jazzy_dave]

So after seeing all those wonderful old buses in Faversham i cantered to Canterbury to do the phone shop visit, and then traveled over to Maidstone to do the Pret coffee shop visit.

I had a filter coffee with an avocado salad wrap. The barista overfilled the cup of coffee which when placed on the wobbly table spilled all over the table and my wrap. I complained. The barista then had to make a new wrap up for me , and the supervisor apologized for the problem and gave me my money back. Result!

Then i did a Costa Coffee shop over at the Tunbridge Wells hospital just outside of Pembury. This is the first i have been inside the place. I had an Americano coffee with a tasty Belgian Chocolate torte. Caught the bus back to Tonbridge and then to Maidstone where i took this picture of one of the arcades in the shopping area.



At this time of the day it was too late to catch the last bus going to Teynham so i did my usual excursion up to Chatham and  Rochester and catching the train home that way. The bus service after six in the evening is very shambolic and uncoordinated, which when you compare it with the service in the Brighton area, is a disgrace really.

This morning i had some refreshing eggs on toast and a coffee topped up with a bit of cream. Yeah, naughty but nice!

Americano is my favorite way to have coffee. I keep it simple.

Well, the torte sounds really yummy, but I will pass on the coffee. :p

WOW, how do they keep the bus service if they are so bad? Yikes.....

The service to Sittingbourne and Teynham finishes at just over six and yet you can still get to Chatham up till ten at night. Weird. Or you can still get from Canterbury to Faversham by bus up till eleven at night but not by Faversham to Teynham after six pm!!

You went to another historic place today.

Te avocado wrap sounds lovely and that was good that they replaced the one your coffee was spilt on.

And then Belgian Chocolate torte. Yummy! Not to mention your breakfast!

That's bad about the buses around 6 pm. There would still be a lot of people out at that hour.

Bane of my life these bus services in Kent. The service to Sittingbourne and Teynham finishes at just over six and yet you can still get to Chatham up till ten at night. Weird. Or you can still get from Canterbury to Faversham by bus up till eleven at night but not by Faversham to Teynham after six pm!!
At least when i do my gigs in Brighton i can still get to Seaford late night on a Wednesday and at 3 am on a weekend.

Your buses do not make much sense to me :D

But that is good that you can still do your gigs.

Ahhh, lovely...and who doesn't want REAL CREAM with their coffee?! You do eat healthy a lot of the time, so a little extra something bad doesn't hurt you at all, really.
