Transcription Notes
Slept much better — night quite cold, no rain and fairly clear. Finished packing and then caught the crazy train at 9 for Barbourville where we arrived at 11.30. Lunched at Hotel then to Mrs Broghton who sang us several songs. Saw Mrs Poff and Mrs Sudie whose husband has more or less recovered and was away at his mother’s. Caught the 4.10 train for Pineville and reached Continental Hotel at 5.30. Did some shopping, unpacked, had dinner, sat outside on the verandah, then walked out to see the shops! Nice to find ourselves in civilization again and to have warm baths before going to bed. Not very good rooms as they are hot getting the afternoon sun, which, though the nights and mornings are cool, is still very powerful.Location
