More of Exeter, then to tintagel !

- lots of breakfast. out to shops. underground passages. very cool. tried not to get red on light grey jumper / cardigan. had to almost crawl for one part. interesting. easter eggs. hit head several times - hard had good, but yucky. hear traffic up on street. people hid in during air raids.
- drove to tintagel. awesome castle hotel called camelot. amazing round table. cornwall is the most beautiful part of england. very farm-y. amazing coastline. cliffs. beautiful weather. amazing staircase. gorgeous place to stay. sea view room. very comfy bed.
- walk round tintagel castle. ruins. steep. over to island with more of castle. up for views over cliffs. down to merlin's cave. waterfall.
- back to hotel for welcome drink. rose and cab sav. took our free cheeses with us. went well together. sat outside on side of castle watching sun setting.
- into town for pub dinner. local ales and rattler cider. deep fried brie. chicken leek and bacon pie with mash and peas. just what I specifically said I wanted when walking out to dinner. burger and fries - actually cooked properly and crisp. lots of sauces. mousse more like ganache.
- sat at round table to look at photos. cool elevator with metal door.

It was time

to pull the plug, and let the waters drain away from our trip to Bath. But we still had half a day or so, and some things to see.

New photos

It's actually been ages since I've posted. However, in that time, we've been to Bath, Oxford and Cambridge.

You can see some photos of Bath here. I'll put up some of Oxford and Cambridge tonight.

I should mention, we're also planning our 11 day driving extravaganza, including a stay at Tintagel (the area reputed to be where Camelot, and Merlin's cave, are)

So stay tuned. I might even write about Bath, Cambridge and Oxford !!

Here's a photo to whet your appetite:
