Whirl 757

It was the trip of a lifetime and I will remember it for years to come.

I treated myself to a seat in first class on the flight out, the first time I’d ever turned left boarding a plane!

My hotel was amazing, the perfect place to relax for a few days. I owed it to myself, a respite away from the trials and tribulations of home. Peace at last.

I went for a stroll along the green rolling hillside embracing its beauty whilst connecting with none other than mother nature.

It was then it happened. I tripped. 

After falling to ground I rolled down the slope, bouncing and bumping into trees and over boulders before falling from a ledge and tumbling into a rushing rocky river. 

And so here I am, lying in a bed. Not my hotel bed but one in a foreign hospital. The only thing they have in common is room service at meal times!

Like I said, it really was the trip of a lifetime!

    Ah, Murphy’s Law explained perfectly! Nice one, Keith.

      So true. I’ve always felt sorry for someone who ends up with a mother-in-law called Murphy. Not a good start to a marriage!

    Brilliant use of the words Keith – so sorry your trip didn’t end so well – but it made me laugh – why is it always so funny when people trip or fall over – I do try not to laugh but I can’t help myself 😅- unless it’s obviously serious!

      Thanks, Ange, they do say that misfortune is the backbone of comedy!

    That is ending a trip with a bang of another sort! Yikes!

    brings new meaning to ‘tripping out.’
