I was again (or still) travelling, and I was already on my final stage, arriving to B. I was going to visit N. and M. there. I had to go from the train station to their place, and I also had to go so some school next to the bus station. I went using back streets, trying to use the shorter route, but looking a the map after I arrived, I realised that I had actually taken a long route. I also realised that the map, the streets and the distances, were the same as they are in reality. I made a note of going the sort route next time.
But then the next time, as I started the route, determined to go the short and straight route, as I was setting off, in the station, something slowed me down and I ended up having to use back streets again, so again taking the long route.
Then two policemen blocked the road. They were stopping the traffic so that two little boys could cross the road. A cyclist coming in the other direction was outraged that he had to slow down for this, but I thanked the policemen for doing the task that traffic wardens do, which is stopping the traffic so that children can cross the road safely.
