Day 24 Lectoure to Grasmere UK

Woke to sun but sadly we were leaving. Packed and ready to leave just after 8am as planned even though we knew we would probably be very early at Toulouse airport. It did give us time to pick up petrol. The drive to the aiport was through more beautiful countryside with small strips of roads lined with Plane trees. Dropped the car at Europcar in the airport and ventured inside. When Easyjet opened we did our bag drop, security...no continuty between countries, then sat to enjoy a well earned coffee and pain raisin. 1 hr flight to Orly, collected our luggage and transferred to International for our flight to Manchester after negotiating the airport!! Another 1 hr flight landing at 550pm. Shuttle bus to the a central car rental place. SEAT station wagon this time with heaps of boot space. 1 hr 20min drive to Grasmere. The last bit along the lake which was lovely. 945pm arrived at the Bridge Hotel and was greeted with smiles and warmth. A very long day but looking forward to exploring in the days ahead and the home cooked breakfast in the morning!!Read more
