Early start we went on the bus with Charlotte ( who poor sod was going into work!) I'm sure the bus driver used to work for a funeral directors. If he'd gone any slower we could've walked quicker.
When we got there we had time to grab a maccys breakfast ( in my case, a mcmuffin)
Then we went to the pick up point. We met a nice family who were waiting for the same coach and we chatted. The coach was running late. I rang to check it was in fact still coming, and there was an accident on the motorway which made it 30 minutes late.
When he picked us up we got settled for a long drive. Because of further pick ups and traffic we eventually got into Torquay at 7pm. We got unpacked, showered etc and had dinner. As it was the first night we stayed in the hotel.
There is a cheap bar and entertainment laid on. Very Neptune's ( Benidorm watchers will get the reference) but we won the quiz thanks to limited imput from me and Kev the music oracle. Lol. A box of chocs, which we shared round the room.
I was by turn, highly amused and horrified at was a typical British experience. Memories of 18-30's holidays abroad were extremely acute.
We went to the room about 12ish and slept quite well. Only downside to the hotel was no lifts, but it's clean and comfortable. Ready for a day exploring tomorrow.
