After a refreshing night's sleep we caught another little trolley car along the enclosed walkways across the road to the airport where we checked in our luggage and bought some brekky before our long flight to London. The plane was barely half full, giving us room to spread out. We caught the Heathrow Express to Paddington, and had a short walk to our hotel to find we have a large apartment this time with a separate kitchen (a longer stay than last time when we...

So today we disembarked and traveled to Gatwick via a Cunard transfer. We don't usually do that, but this trip is somewhat different. It was all very tiring and uneventful.

Down at the docks we had to pass through security similar to airports and had to wait in a lounge before we could board. No upgrades this t...

This morning after a quick brekky we set off on our journey to Port Isaac, and what a journey!! The traffic was incredibly heavy - a lot of caravans on the road.

After purchasing our items we returned to our hotel, retrieved our stored luggage and trundled back up to Paddington station to catch the train to Waterl...
