Trip to Plymouth!
Due to the floods, it took us six hours to get to Plymouth on the train. We had to go through Bristol and then down to Plymouth. The direct train only takes three hours!!
Plymouth was a a really interesting place. We Ellie's first house (when she was a baby!), had an Oggy (a devonshire pasty) together, walked around and saw the lighthouse and the waterfront.
We stayed at a really nice B&B. It was great. The port and waterfront was nice, but really polluted!! It was really disgusting, and the English were fishing in it!! Right in the polution!
We had an awesome dinner and evening at a really cool restaurant bar. The best service we've had in England! Just great!
On Sunday we cruised around the town (away from the touristy bits) and saw where Ellie's Dad lived when he was a kid. We happened across a really cool cafe with great coffee, where we sat for a while and Ellie called her Dad to get his old address. It was there that Ellie realised (while speaking with her Dad on the phone) that we were right across the road from where he went to school as a kid.
Here's Ellie eating a pasty!!

Mmm - that pastie looks good. It's a sign that it's time for lunch!! Too bad there's nowhere around here that makes a decent pastie. Where's Grandma when you need her :) and why do Grandmas always make the best pasties??
