Trust...sometimes it leaves you in the middle of no where...

Over the past few months, we really have had to trust a lot of strangers. We have to trust that hopefully they won't steer us in the wrong direction. Most of our experiences have been good and we have recieved proper advice and information. This weekend though, we were "misguided" to say the least.
We had called our favorite taxi company, Douglas Taxis and prearranged a price with them to get us to Leeds to go dancing. We have had great conversations with many of their drivers and they are the best price for sure. The driver that they sent us, must have been the exception...
We didn't know the exact address for where we were going, but we new the name of the street. The street was a well known area of town and we had hoped this was enough information to get us there. Not true- our driver was very annoyed. Then, we got in the taxi and after sitting in silence for 5 minutes, we asked if we could have the radio on. After he gave us a muttered relunctant sigh, the music was on. Shortly after, he put in earbud headphones, so any questions or comments he no longer heard. This became extremely awkward as we started driving down back roads at high speeds. We even went on a cobblestone street going extremely fast dodging people and cars.
To make matters worse, Bethany had just told us horror stories about young ladies being taken away by taxi drivers and that we needed to be careful...So of course, as we are going down alleys to get to Leeds when normally we go down a highway, thoughts were put in our heads...
Finally we started driving on roads that we recognized, but as we approached Leeds, we kept going down a street we'd never seen. When we asked if we were there, our driver told us that we had just past it. Then he gave us some excuse and started explaining that once we miss a turn, his GPS no longer works. (which is ridiculous by the way)  He dropped us off and told us to cross a walking bridge to a group of buildings with neon lights on them. So we did that...and it led us to a bunch on apartment buildings. After asking many people on the street, we learned that we had a 15 minute walk to where we wanted to go. Luckily I was not wearing heels like Leigh!
The worst part was that once we learned that we were in the wrong spot, we started to cross the road and  saw him parked at the light!!! We tried to flag him down and he looked over at us- But didn't stop!!!
Anyways, that night was a bit frustrating and it was good that we were in a group of 4.
We did learn something though. Trust...sometimes it leaves you in the middle of no where...! hahah
