The Last Set of Places

We returned to London the following noon, just missing the taxi strike in Paris.  The White Cliffs of Dover was our next destination, only the traffic in London slowed our progress a great deal. At last we arrived and it was worth the wait.

Of course by now we were hungry and thus, headed into Dover to find food before exploring any further.



Fish and chips with mushy peas and a view of the White Cliffs and plenty of sea gulls ready to snatch the fish from unprotected plates.  Then we were back to the cliffs.


We also stopped at Beachy Head, but it was so dark and the pictures didn't turn out so great.
The next day started late and ended earlier than others.  The hours in the middle were spent driving the scenic route to our glamping site.  O.K. we really did stop at a number of places in between.














Narrow roads


Ate lunch at this lovely little place.


Our glamping site had a few surprises for us.  The biggest surprise was finding out that there weren't lights.  Well, there was one light if we used the only outlet for a light which meant we couldn't charge other things while the light was on.  Mostly the surprises were pleasant or perhaps amusing.




Padstow


 St. Ives


Pasties for lunch.


Across the moor...


over the stile, 


 to Wistman's wood.


Then up to the top of the moor to explore the Littaford Tor.

On our final day of exploring we went to Stourhead Garden where parts of Pride and Prejudice was filmed.




 One more of these



After finding kebabs we made one last stop in Exmoor where we could look across the bay and see Wales.

Now I'm home dreaming of the places I've been and places I'd like to go and trying to motivate myself to start thinking of school.
