A true rest day

Today's weather is not at all clement with fog and rain;




Happy travellers
a good opportunity to replace all those lost calories from the previous days' walks. Following breakfast
we catch a bus to Damuls. When we arrive we realise that we haven't eaten for a good hour and sit down for a hearty lunch.
We all love a good gordon blue
We spend the afternoon in sweet repose and then have a hearty 5 course dinner; we obviously are far still behind in replacing all those lost calories.

Getting in touch with Satan

Image
Having found ourselves sedentary for too long and not wishing to lose our incredible svelte body shapes we strap on our walking boots once again and head towards the Devil's Punchbowl(DP). for a morning's perambulation. Parking is an issue in the Uk, it is either non-existent or costs 10 pounds an hour(+VAT); the latter proves to be the case at the National Front carpark at the DP. Anyway the walk turns out to be a jolly affair with some rather wonderful views of the Surrey countryside. We join Claire and Suzannah Mary for lunch and afternoon tea and then we are booked in for a tour of the Hogsback brewery-an enlightening visit with copious free samples of their fine brew. We meet the young folk for dinner at a local public house.

On the bus straight after breakfast to revisit Lucca with the group. This turns out to be another fine day of ancient churches and fine dining. Looking for a good time boys? Getting in touch with their feminine side Will somebody open this bloody box? Keep your hands to yourself Balancing plates on your head school Stefano has a minor meltdown when he discovers too few mushrooms in the entree; after heavily sedating him we wander the streets in search of peace, tranquility and a toilet. Then it is back to our digs for another feast.

Arriving in the Old Dart

Image
An early start and a tearful farewell to Louie and Helga.Smooth check-in and breakfast at Tulla. We have a 9 hour stopover in Singapore so after questioning the customs officer about the best chicken rice we make our way to Sing Ho and are not disappointed. We also visit the giant greenhouse at Gardens by the Bay. Following a drug induced sleep we arrive unscathed at Heathrow; finding the courtesy bus to Avis proved a challenge with obscure signage. We arrive safe and sound in Guildford at our Airbnb where we meet our scatterbrained hostess and then are reunited with the heavily pregnant Claire. We wander into Guildford and am pleasantly surprised that English ale is as delicious as ever; then an afternoon nap and out for dinner, with Claire and Eric, and more beer at the Onslow Arms.
