We took a train into Wales and had a short stop in Cardiff before arriving in Swansea. Swansea is a small city, with a population similar to that of Townsville, popular for it's sea side bay. Our train was delayed, and we were worried that we would miss our pre-arranged meeting with Dr. Fry. Chris had written to Dr. Fry last year after receiving a history prize in which Dr. Fry is the benefactor. He used to work as a professor at James Cook University. A gentleman in his 80's, with an interesting background of being a Cambridge Scholar and a RAF WWII pilot. Dr. Fry and his wife had afternoon tea with us and took us for a drive around Swansea before dropping us off at Swansea University where we stayed for the night.
