Well I wasn’t really sure what to expect at this food & bubble festival – especially after we’d been stuck in awful traffic just outside the venue. The man with the bubbles was incredible and the ‘bubble monster’ was amazing. There was obviously the obligatory ice cream.
Well sadly we’ve finished our holiday now and need to head home. We packed up the flat, made a picnic and headed to the beach – what a great way to finish the holiday! You were able to head down and use your new bodyboard.
Traffic was a nightmare on the way home, but we stopped for dinner en-route and got home around 7
Well Isabelle – I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from today! We went to the Wildlife and Dinosaur park in Combe Martin. We were there a little early so headed to the beach first.
The park was great, we saw loads of animals, had a train ride and saw an amazing sea lion show (as you’ll see the park had some super steep hills!!)
When we’d finished at the park we went back to the flat and headed to the beach where you continued to perfect your body boarding technique, then went and got a pizza for dinner which we enjoyed on the beach – what a perfect end to the day (there was rather a lot of sand in the bath…)!
The weather wasn’t quite as I’d wanted today – rather than clear blue sky’s it was grey, miserable and a bit drizzly! We didn’t let that stop us though; the first port of call was Lynton & Lynmouth to go on the funicular railway, on the way back up, you stood on the footplate with the driver
After moving on from here (in part due to the weather(!)) we headed to the Barnstaple to Lynton railway which we’d passed on the way, you both really enjoyed it and the views were spectacular.
When we got back it was the beach all the way until bedtime – you had your first try on a body board, I think you’re hooked!
We got a fairly early start in today and managed to get on the road before half 7. As it was going to be a 4 hour trip we stopped halfway down for breakfast at Gloucester services which you both enjoyed!
Once we arrived we headed into Ilfracombe to have a look around before we could get into our flat. After having a look around we went to the beach, followed by the aquarium and then got an ice cream which you both wolfed down…
When we got into the flat is was then a quick change and down to the beach for a paddle in the sea followed by dinner – here’s looking forward to an equally action packed day two(!).
