My dear idiot cousin - trip to his place

I have visited England this summer in august for the first time. I stayed at my girlfriend's sister that lives 3-4 hours away from London, and i was supposed to meet with my cousin (he lives in the capital city). Well we agreed on meeting him in the afternoon at about 16 a clock as he said he was busy with his baby daughter going to the doctor and all. Well I, as a visitor, expected for him to pick me up, but i accepted to take a buss in the unknown as he said he will come and wait in the station as he lives 5 minutes from a specific station. I gave him a message 5-10 minutes before we got in the station, and we waited another 20 in the station before he got here... I was already annoyed but i sucked it up. Next we stayed there and talk for a while and said we'll be leaving at 17:30 as the buss was leaving at 19:00 but he said to stay to 18:00 as he will take us with the car to... another bus station... i mean come on, if you decided to use the damn car, you could have at least driven us to the railway station... Anyway the bus he took as to was really bad, and it didn't go in a straight line, i think we could have gotten there faster by foot

I doubt if i would go to that trouble to see him again. Yes, i think most of us have people like that in the family. I just stay away from them.

Oh my, what a trip! He must have been really preoccupied or distracted with something else that your cousin wasnt able to accommodate you properly in your vacation. There seems to have been poor planning in your transportation times as well as the transportation modes. Your ordeal did sound costly. Still, I do hope that you enjoyed your vacation somehow, even with that adventure.

Hello elitess. Thanks for sharing with us this story of yours, but it was interesting to take a trip to a foreign country, especially the capital city London of the Great Britain. I am sure that you must have enjoyed yourself during your stay there in spite of this story. Take care, elitess.

Your cousin was very rude to you! I would think he would be happy to see you and arrange his schedule to accommodate you as much as possible. That's too bad you had such a frustrating experience. I hope you enjoyed England! I've always wanted to go there, it looks so beautiful in the pictures and the people in myLot that are from there are so nice, smart and funny.
