The final line is killing me. It's sooo good... almost as good as the whole "That's not a... - THAT is a…" game.
I'm a little worry about Pam's feet (after THAT walk they must be sore as hell), but I have a feeling that this journey will totally pay off :)
Author's Response: Thank you! I think she'll manage but yeah, it's not great for her.

Comfect. I can’t with the Crocodile Dundee references. I’m originally from a very small town. My hometown celebrity is the buffalo from Crocodile Dundee. His name was Charlie and he was an angel. I am very deep in my feels right now...
So, I learned from this chapter that there is an American way of spelling “kilometre” which makes no sense to me considering you guys don’t use kilometres? But, there you go...
This chapter was lovely, I don’t know how you took something as boring to experience in reality like sitting on a train/bus and made it well worth reading, but you did!
Author's Response:
Awww. That's an amazing story. I have...uh...not actually seen the whole film. But even I knew that reference...maybe I'll look up this buffalo of yours.
We do use kilomet(re)s in science. And we have the word meter. So there you go: kilometers. And thanks! It's really nice to know this was worth reading :)

Ah Crocodile Dundee, I was wondering if any sort of reference to that would show up. Still waiting for an overenthusiastic "Crikey!" at some point. Hopefully when the promised fluffy things make an appearance and not the many pointy, pokey, or poison-y things make appearances.
The thing of it is though, I never once got the impression Jim and Pam were ever lost in this chapter. A bit befuddled about the location of their destination to be sure, but they're not lost. They're right where they're supposed to be, together.
Author's Response: So, confession, I've never seen it. But I knew a reference was a necessity. And yes, I do think that's an appropriate reading of "lost" here. Thanks for the review.
