Unexpected Stop

A poor fella yesterday, didnt listen to the bus driver, got off the bus for a quick visit to the little boys room and came back to find the Greyhound Bus had left without him.....ooops, no wallet, no passport, no bag, no nothing! Funny though, he did have his mobile phone, now what does that say about the world!!!! Lucky the Mission Beach Information Station folk saw him and came to the rescue. We reorganised his bus ticket (free from Greyhound) and organised to have his bags removed at Townsville where he could catch up with them. We put him up in the shop for 5 hours, he use the internet for free, we fed and watered him.....then at 7pm he left to wait at the bus stop.....with strict instructions to stay put! Hope all went well for him. We always feel for travellers who have limited English......reminds us of our overseas holidays.......alone & lost in a foreign country is a scary thing.
