One of the advantages of traveling solo is that most people find it hard to believe. The reality is that you end up meeting a lot of people along the way, some casually, others become friends for life. That day I’d met a lovely Norwegian couple who arrived at the same cafe at the same time I did. We sat at the same table and chatted as we drank our teas. They left before I did. Later when I went to pay my bill, the waiter had assumed we were all together!
