travel and buying a book

Coincidently I heard Front Row on Radio 4 one evening last year. There was a review of a Stephen Fry autobiography. I thought no more of this as I am not a particular fan of Mr Fry. A few months later I was making a business trip to Kenya. I always take a book with me and I already had a book on the go which I packed. While reading at the airport I realised that I would finish my book before the end of the trip. I don't usually buy books at airports. I am a more considered book selecter than this. As I apporached the book shop the first thing I saw was a prominent display of the Stephen Fry book. I remembered the review and I bought the book. When I arrived at my destination ( a nature conservancy) I was billetted in a very nice safari lodge to work with a colleague from France that I had not met before. On the second night she said she whished she had brought a book. For once I had two books, which was very unusual for me. I offered her the Stephen Fry book as I had not started it. She told me she had met Mr Fry and he had stayed at this very lodge. It was a complete coincidence that we even discussed the books I had brought with me and another coincidence that I had bought a book at the airport or that I had heard the Front Row broadcast. When the weekend came we were moved out of the safari lodge to make room for weekend guests and moved to a bush camp -very small only six tents in the middle of nowhere. We were the only people staying there. We were sitting having a sundowner on the seocnd night and the owner started to talk about people who had stayed with them - and one of those people was Stephen Fry - and he was billetted in the same tent that I had and.. each tent has two single camp beds. When the tents were used by one person they only make up one bed and it transpired that I was sleeping in the same bed as Stephen Fry!
