Cards ensue. Alli continues to be quite bad at them. By the time they're finished, it's late enough that Alli is falling asleep despite the airplane seat. So she apologizes to May, puts the cards away and curls up for however much of a nap she can get.

Upon their arrival, everyone is shooed into a waiting bus by the chaperone. He reminds everyone a few times to "try not to fall asleep, if you can stay up it will help you adjust". Most of them wind up napping on the bus regardless, Alli included; she's something of a jetlag zombie at the moment.

After a drive of an hour or so, their stuff is dropped off at their hotel. The chaperone doesn't let them off the bus. "No naps!" he reminds them. "We're going to spend the day exploring some local historical sites. Give you incentive to stay awake."

So, first stop: a nearby field, which apparently was the site of a battle or two during the Hundred Year War. There are various placards up indicating historians' best guesses at important locations, and some old weaponry (both original and replica). The chaperone herds them all off the bus. "Come on, everyone! Time to explore! Walk around, look at history, take it in! Just be back on the bus by noon, okay? Then we'll head to lunch."

Alli gets off the bus reluctantly. She was napping, damn it. But exploring time it is.
