Day 41 Heading back to where we started!

Sunday 29/04/2018 Mercure Heathrow Room 148

A pretty routine day of driving back to London seeing the sights as we drive through the smaller villages, the bigger towns from one Hwy to the big Hwy No1...
Seeing huge power stations with up to 10 cooling towers... so many I had to make sure my count was right.... Stoping at Sherwood Forest Visitors Centre to see Robin and the boys... To be honest it was pretty run down and old, looks like it’s from the 80’s and in need of either knocking down or being made new.... The staff we a happy bunch trying to make you feel very welcome... it would seem it’s mainly used now for walking trails, which nearly every 2nd person in Britain/UK seems to be doing. The sports shops are making a killing selling walking and sports gear... We headed through the story of Robin truth or fiction the story has been embellished over the years until no one is sure what is truth or what is fiction....

Had our cuppa here then off up the Hwy... I slept most of today as I have had a headache for 3 days now and it’s making me quite unwell.... So sleep might make it go I hoped... must have worked by the time we hit London it was easing considerably.... I had popped that many pills I wasn’t sure what would work, but sleep has helped...

We stopped at a Road Centre for lunch... honestly these places making an absolute killing, 1,000’s go through them every day... I actually had a great meal here, a really lovely tomato soup... what an unexpected bonus.

So off we speed south on the main road, no good sights to see on this but it got us here quicker... as we had to get the car all sorted... Tomorrow our lovely car has to be taken back... it has been a great car with so many gadgets John was still working them out today... Off to the car wash after giving it a big clean out... we will need to take it back early in the AM, then somehow get back to the hotel ... looking into this it would seem it’s going to be via a number of different modes...

After the car wash, then went to look for a cooked chicken to have for dinner... trying to get a cooked chook like we do at home is near impossible... and it was impossible... we have only seen one supermarket with them and that was a bit back.... so no cooked chicken for dinner, just bits and bobs I had on hand... This part of the adventure is drawing to a close... our next part is about to begin in a few days...Read more
