Today was a real surprise for me. After heading to the hotel and finding that Erik wouldn't be turning up, I left and decided to check out the woodlands. However, I soon discovered that no one was out on the woodlands either, which was probably for the best since a newspaper was saying that today and yesterday were going to be so hot outside that it could kill 1000s. Hopefully, that doesn't happen.
Anyway, after dropping my stuff back home, I proceeded into town to go to the store. I noticed the streets were crowded and thought it was the town carnival. Once again, I returned home. I picked up my video camera and then headed into town again. I positioned myself on a low wall and hoped to record the carnival as it passed. It wasn't until after an hour of waiting that I discovered why the streets were packed like they were. I watched as Prince Charles and Camilla emerged in the town hall. "So that's why the streets are packed!" I thought to myself.
I managed to get some recorded images of Prince Charles and Camilla as they moved from the town hall until they walked by where I stood. After that, I decided to jump off of my position on the wall and tried to move down along the sidewalk to try to get more recorded evidence of the event. However, a cop grabbed my arm and told me not to go any further. I apologized and looked back to the wall, which was now packed. After being stopped from proceeding down the sidewalk, I realized that jumping off that wall was a pretty stupid idea. I decided to head home at that point since I wasn't going to be able to get anything else from street level.
I'm going to have to edit the video that I managed to record into one video so I can upload it to YouTube.
