Bath, Devon and Grand Princess.....Ship Ahoy

Leaving Wales was a little sad, we had such a wonderful time with Elinor and Paul. They live in such a beautiful place and are so hospitable. Our drive through the little lanes and sheep fields was so fun and a little scary. We had a good trip on the train to Bath, and once there we got a great central hotel courtesy of the tourist info centre. We saw the Roman Baths, what an interesting annd huge structure. Those Romans really lived a good life. Dinner in a pub and a walk around the most unique crescents in England. VERY expensive real estate. Next day another wander and then a bus tour to Stonehenge, where I found that the Stones had shrunk since 1970. Still very impressive and worth a visit.

We decided to spend our last three days in Devon so we booked into a nice B&B in Torquay, where we relaxed and visited Dawlish, where Nikki and went to see her grandma in 1979, what a beautiful little village.

Boarded our ship after a short train trip and an overnight in Southampton. So far, we have met some nice people and some serious jerks...takes all kinds to make a world, I guess.

More later......
