It was goodbye to London as Shari dropped us at Stansted to begin our adventure. As we headed into the airport we realised that this was the coldest we would feel for a very long time. We checked in, grabbed a quick breakfast then headed to our gate. The plane was the fullest I have ever been on. Big bonus though as we managed to get exit row seats. Probably the closest thing we'll ever get to business class. Jac slept most of the trip as she is still not well. ...

We cant say that we havent made the most of our time over here, but it had to come to an end eventually.

As I stepped outside after breakfast the wind wrapped it's arms around me and did it's best to hurl me down the street. I dug my heels in, spun around and retreated back to the safety of the hotel. I watched the rain flying sideways & realized that today would not be the day to take a planned drive along the south coast.
