Newbury

The next day we went to the Therme spa for a couple of hours before heading on to our last stop: Newbury to visit Highclere Castle: the setting of the Downtown Abbey series. Train travel was smooth and we found Newbury to offer more than Nancy had anticipated; the stream running through the town was very picturesque. We stopped for a drink regretted not eating there as well shortly after our taxi dropped us off at the Carpenter Arms in the countryside and we found the kitchen was closed. This was quite disappointing as Nancy had inquired as to whether the pub was open. In England a pub being open does not mean food is being served; only alcohol. The young man in charge was long on promises but short on follow through. We settled on Pizza delivery for dinner and a check out next day.Baca lagi
